As Michael noted, the WIP code isn't actively used anywhere, but if it 
were: The target address of a PCI BAR mapping into SoC address space 
could be left uninitialized, leading to a bhnd(4) bus driver 
reading/writing to whatever SoC physical address range the window 
happened to be pointing to -- most likely unmapped memory.

It's very unlikely that full driver attach and network interface 
bring-up would succeed.
