There are some difference between IA64 and ARM64.
On IA64, it supports 16M IO address space per PCI domain and 256 PCI
domains at max. So the system IO address space is 16M * 256 = 4G.
So it does two level translations to support IO port
1) translate PCI bus local IO port address into system global IO port
address by adding acpi_des->translation_offset.
2) translate the 4G system IO port address space into MMIO address.
IA64 has reserved a 4G space for IO port mapping. This translation
is done by arch specific method.
In other word, IA64 needs two level translation, but ACPI only provides
on (trans_type, trans_offset) pair for encoding, so it's used for step 1).

For ARM64, I think currently it only needs step 2).

It's not a hack, but a way to interpret ACPI spec:)

With current linux resource management framework, we need to allocate
both MMIO and IO port address space range for an ACPI resource of type
'TypeTranslation'. And struct resource could be either IO port or MMIO,
not both. So the choice is to keep the resource as IO port, and let
arch code to build the special MMIO mapping for it. Otherwise it will
break too many things if we convert the resource as MMIO.

That said, we need to add translation_offset to convert bus local
IO port address into system global IO port address if it's type of
TypeStatic, because ioresource_ioport uses system global IO port
address.

For an ACPI resource of type TypeTranslation, system global IO port
address equals bus local IO port address, and the translation_offset
is used to translate IO port address into MMIO address, so we shouldn't
add translation_offset to the IO port resource descriptor.

Yes, that's a flaw:(
