Does ARM have an IO instructions, in and out? I think it is MMIO so
this is the wrong type.

If the devices are on the PCI bus, they should have PCI headers. If
they are directly on the root bus, they don't and you can reserve the
space there. There is an assumed top of memory for PCI BUS of
0xF0000000 that you may need to adjust or make an option.
