The value of _IO_BASE depends upon how you configure and map the host PCI
bridge on the 8250.

The 8260 doesn't have a PCI bridge, so these mappings aren't appropriate
for your board.  The 0xf0000000 is needed to get to the IMMR space, but
those accesses don't (shouldn't) be using in/out macros.  The 0xe0000000
space is generally used for flash prom, external devices, local sdram
and so on.

There are a variety of configuration options for the PCI bridge and all of
the other I/O in your system and the mapping using either BATs or page
tables.  It depends upon the address ranges of all of the I/O in your
system and their physical space allocation.
