4e and 4f are superio ports, too

not sure. acpi something?

base is the interesting thing here.. It's determined dynamically.

I think these are hard codes of some legacy bios setting and should be
read dynamically, too..

Wow, what are these?
I don't think you can easily limit this. I am working on support for a
board where the final IO address is read dynamically from PCI register
space. This might be required on more boards in the future.
