I have nearly finished the update on the code section of the specs page at
http://bcm-v4.sipsolutions.net/PCI-E. The part that is not done involves the
sections that read an address from the SPROM and perform operations on that address.

I found that the chip common registers are mapped at 12K for newer cores on
PCIe. This explains the 0x3XXX addresses. Similarly, the PCIe registers are
mapped at 8K - the 0x2XXX addresses. The SPROM is shadowed at 4K or 0x1XXX.
