As you know currently for ARM architecture IO space is memory mapped and
is only used by pci devices. The port number is dynamically allocated
converting the device IO address into a PIO token: i.e.
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/acpi/pci_root.c#L745
This patch is meant to support a new class of IO host controller
that are not PCI based and that still require to have the IO addresses
be translated in the same PIO token space as the PCI controller

Thanks,
Zhichang
