OK so the offset must not be applied to the I/O bar as you suggested. Since AFAICT I/O bars are deprecated, should we insist that there be a memory bar, and the I/O bar is optional? Or just leave it entirely undefined, and say there can be either or both? I dislike the idea of BIOS code which assumed an I/O bar and thus won't work with a compliant device which doesn't provide one. I'd prefer all compliant drivers to work with all compliant devices.
