You're running into that trap again which you fall into on other
architectures.

If you arrange for your PCI IO space to start at 0 rather than the
physical address that it appears on your CPU, then you shouldn't
end up with it extending up to something at 0xcXXXXXXX.

Remember that we should be ensuring that inb(0) hits the first address
of the cross-subarch PCI IO area - this alway requires that any sub-arch
taking part in a multiplatform kernel must start its IO space addresses
at 0 and not the physical address on the local CPU.
