Actually it seems that this patch is completely bogus for Darwin/OS X -
it's really a bug in the way that Darwin parses the /pci "ranges"
property causing it to map the PCI address spaces incorrectly.

Hence this patchset should be ignored and I will post a follow-up
patchset containing the fix and some other PCI address fixups for Apple
machines shortly.


ATB,
