I think the openfirmware(DT) do not support for those unmapped I/O ports, because I
must get resource by calling of_address_to_resource(), which have to call
pci_address_to_pio() when resource type is IORESOURCE_IO. I'm sorry I have no
better idea for this now. Maybe liviu can give me some opinions.

/**

  */
int of_address_to_resource(struct device_node *dev, int index,
			   struct resource *r)

Ipmi has a lot of way to be discovered(ACPI, DMI, hardcoded, hot-add,
openfirmware and a few other), I think we just use one of them, not all of them.
It depend on vendor's hardware solution actually.
