to what end?

qemu's io_gpe != piix4(GPSTS)
QEMU simply doesn't implement piix4(GPSTS), instead it has implemented
custom GPE registers block at 0xafe0 for its hotplug purposes.
Bits in both GPE blocks have different meaning,
so moving io_gpe to PMBASE+0x0c, would be a bug.

Interesting question is what guest gets now when it reads
PMBASE+0x0c ?

If reads return -1 and guest uses these
registers it might get confused since all STS/EN bits
are set and writes are ignored. We likely get away
with it since these registers aren't used by non ACPI guests
(non x86 ones) and x86 ones fetch GPE block from FADT
table => not using piix4(GPSTS) at all.
So It's a bug to fix (at least make it read as 0s)
