In QEMU, EBus provides an isa_mmio region, so all ISA devices with PIO
show up as MMIO in the EBUS PCI region 0 . For example, the first
16550 serial port has a hard-coded PIO base of 0x3f8, so it can be
accessed at 0x1fe020003f8.

Though actually also APB/PBM happens to route PCI PIO to this region,
so maybe EBus has no effect ;-)

These devices are not in U5: 'SUNW,lom', 'adc', 'beeper',
'display7seg', 'gpio', 'i2c'.
