Because the VIA SuperIO chip only decodes 24 bits of address space but port
address space currently being configured as 32MB there is the theoretical
possibility of aliases within the I/O port address range.
The complicated solution is to reserve all address range that potencially
could cause such aliases. But with the PCI spec limiting port allocations
for devices to a maximum of 256 bytes 16MB of port address space already is
way more than one would ever expect to be used so we just reduce the port
space to 16MB.
