As I tried to explain in the very first commit that brings the whole driver
into the kernel the P2SB mimics PCI device but actually doesn't provide all
PCI capabilities. The BAR address there is basically a protocol between
firmware and OS which gives the OS the first (most significant) byte of the
address space window of 16Mb that P2SB responds to in HW. So, I haven't
tested if the relocation actually works for this device, esp. if it goes
over 4G boundary.

That said, messing up with that address is most likely a problematic there.
