I have already fixed this up in my rework.

This is not coming from firmware, but it is a struct which we define in 
the kernel per host, describing that host bus address range for translation.

In fact, generally io_start is 0 and the io_size would be 
PIO_INDIRECT_SIZE, so I'll consider removing it for now.

OK, the comma should be removed. So what is the preferred acpi device id 
array sentinel? I see {}, {"", 0}, and {""} used.
