Linus, there is another problem, if we even work around this (you should ask
Rafael, indeed), the MMIO resources, provided by the table is solely generated
by BIOS. The IP, AFAIK, has a possibility to be reallocated in the address
space. The user will need BIOS to clarify that, it can't be done in OS
(GPIO is exposed as not a PCI device).
