Yes, if you have an "isa" node, you get a 64k mapping of IO's for your
PHB in the first 64K of IO space (in addition to a full mapping
elsewhere for devices with proper BARs).

If you don't, you don't get that mapping. I might add a call for
platforms to explicitely map those low 64K to a given PCI host though
for platforms who really want it.
