You can also use /proc/bus/pci/ for this, the difference is that
you have to give full bus address to /proc/bus/pci/ , while
/sys/bus/pci/devices/ needs an offset within the resource.

I've written a small kernel module to map PIO to userspace
using remap_page_range, and that doesnt seem to work, either.
