Got it: as the PCMCIA bus on this machine is the only thing with an I/O space,
I assigned it port number range 0-0x1000, with an io_offset of 0, but this
was apparently unexpected and triggered this sanity check:

static int static_find_io(struct pcmcia_socket *s, unsigned int attr,
                        unsigned int *base, unsigned int num,
                        unsigned int align, struct resource **parent)
{
      if (!s->io_offset)
              return -EINVAL;
      ...
      return 0;
}

I moved the devices around now, giving zeus/viper I/O space an offset of
zero, and moving PCMCIA to offset 0x10000 and 0x11000 for the two slots,
which now works because the io_offset is nonzero. I've regenerated the
branches again, and confirmed the for-next branch still boots from pcmcia.
