When going through the list today, I found that mv78xx0 in fact has eight
PCIe root complexes with their own I/O spaces.
This could still work with the method I suggested but it would limit
the I/O space per bus to 8kb, which is fairly small, so I'd still consider
using a 1MB space (allowing 16 separte 64 I/O windows) an equally
reasonable option.

We still have the option to either put the I/O spaces in the vmalloc area
where they typically are now, or (provided it's small enough) put them
into the fixmap area, which is a little under 1MB in total size and
almost entirely unused on ARM today.
