This is only for scanning the DT ranges. If the hardware is broken and the driver knows about that then it can filter out the I/O ranges before it passes them on to pci_scan_root_bus() or pci_create_root_bus(). Lets not complicate this function any further. If you get an I/O range it should be expected to also pass an io_base pointer to store the CPU address of the range, otherwise it will get lost in the conversion to an IORESOURCE_IO resource. You want later to discard the resource and forget the CPU address, then don't use it!
