I don't have the hardware next to me, but IIRC the card does have an
I/O space. It is not used by the mainline kernel driver, so I have a
hacky patch that modifies the e1000e driver to make it use the I/O
space and do a few I/O reads and writes. I've used that since the
beginning to test I/O space functionality of the pci-mvebu driver.

Digging in the LAKML archive, I found a lspci -v output about the
e1000e, and it has an I/O space:
