Which I just dropped from queue.  To keep the tree bisectable removal of
the old hack and adding the fixup should be done in the same patch so I'd
go for Bjorn's patch.

There is another somewhat theoretical correctness issue.  Because the
VIA SuperIO chip only decodes 24 bits of address space but port address
space currently being configured as 32MB there is the theoretical
possibility of I/O port addresses that alias with legacy addresses getting
allocated.

The complicated solution is to reserve all address range that potencially
could cause such aliases.  But with the PCI spec limiting port allocations
for devices to a maximum of 256 bytes 16MB of port address space already is
way more than one would ever expect to be used so I suggest to just limit
the port address space to 16MB.

Could you test the patch below?
