I think, but am not sure, this is related to some changes John made to
acpi resource allocation.  I get weird port allocations due to some
questionable assumptions on his part...  I've not had time to look
into this in detail, but I see it on all cardbus cards that allocate
I/O ports.  All of the ones that only do memory work great.
