I agree that acpi_pci_root_validate_resources() is doing the wrong thing
generally. The current code (without this patch series) is checking CPU
bus address range for PCI IO window against ioport_resource which is based
on ioport cookies made up by the kernel. This patch takes out the addition
of the translation offset so the check is now PCI bus io address range
validated against the cookies in ioport_resource. I think that works by
chance because all ia64 PCI segments use the same PCI bus io address
range based at zero. So the PCI bus io addresses will always look valid
against ia64 IO space zero in the ioport_resource list. The PCI ioports
actually get installed after ia64 changes the resource to hold the
cookie. Interestingly, ia64 also installs an iomem resource for the CPU
bus address of the ioport range window. The generic ACPI PCI hostÂ
code should probably do the same in pci_acpi_root_prepare_resource().
And at some point, it might make sense to consolidate the ia64 ioport
cookie handling with that done by the devicetree interfaces used by
the generic ACPI PCI host code.

I think that has always been the case. At least for x86 which doesn't
appear to have ever used the offset in _CRS. In any case, it still
leaves us with the same problem where acpi_pci_root_validate_resources()
is validating PCI bus addresses against something different (cookies/cpu
iospace for ioport, CPU bus for iomem).
