ah, and I thought Ezequiel was being more clever than what I had suggested

The way I described it during the last review, I suggested using
the middle cell of the PCI address here. Since the PCIe port
is 32 bit only, it's otherwise unused. We can do one of two things
here:

a) put the port number in the second cell

   0x82000000 1 0xe0000000 MBUS_ID(0x04, 0xe8) 0xe0000000 0 0x08000000 /* Port 0.0 MEM */
   0x82000000 2 0xe0000000 MBUS_ID(0x04, 0xe9) 0xe0000000 0 0x08000000 /* Port 1.0 MEM */

b) translate the entire MBUS space here

   0x82000000 0 0 0 0 0x1000000 0 /* all MBUS_IDs */

In both cases, the individual ports would have another non-empty
ranges property

a) 
   0x82000000 1 0xe0000000 0x82000000 0 0xe0000000 0x08000000 /* ranges for port 0.0 */

b)
   0x82000000 MBUS_ID(0x04, 0xe8) 0xe0000000 0x82000000 0 0xe0000000 0 0x08000000

I left out the change I suggested in my other reply to not describe
the aperture in this node but translate the entire 4GB space.
