Does the bridge leading to bus 04 really support a window starting at 0x2001?

I assume this is a CardBus bridge because it has two I/O windows.  My
interpretation of the MindShare CardBus book (I don't have the PC Card
Standard) is that the low two bits of the I/O base address register
tell you whether 16- or 32-bit addressing is supported (00b means
16-bit decoding is used, 01b means 32-bit decoding is used), and that
the actual window starts on a four-byte aligned address.

If that's correct, an I/O base register containing 0x2001 would mean a
window starting at 0x2000 and supporting 32-bit decoding, and it would
be impossible to have a window starting at 0x2001, i.e., one that
contains 0x2001 but not 0x2000.
