This looks sensible to me. The only question I have is can this ACS
computation result be altered later on for some reason.

Otherwise I confirm this fixes the reported reserved regions (no more
PCI host bridge windows) and assignment failure on Cavium CN88xx. Cavium
CN88xx assignment would otherwise be affected too.
