I'm not sure what you mean--you get to choose the base address for the
ACPI I/O registers, and you program that into the ACPIBASE register
(offset 0x40 in the LPC device's config space). The  choice is fairly
arbitrary, as this code runs very early during the boot process, well
before most other I/O regions are allocated. Just don't overlap some
important I/O address like 0x3f8 (owned by the serial port).
