IIRC the e1000 still has a legacy IO port BAR.. (guessing it is used
for PXE boot on x86?)

My patch set to allow the DT to turn off IO port allocation is already
in mainline - drop the IO ranges from the DT and no IO resources are
consumed at all.

Though, that is an interesting point, a small refinement would be to
not allocate the pci io map if IO is turned off as well..
