It supports up to 16 64K windows mapped into a 1MB area. So
IO_RESOURCE_LIMIT will be 1MB in that case.

If the h/w can support i/o at 0, then it would be good make __io(x) be
the form of ((x) + <host phys base>). Unfortunately, it seems the only
way to figure this out is change it and see if it breaks people which
isn't very nice.
