Defining it as KSEG1 would be problematic because that means that
the Linux-visible port numbers are offset from the bus-visible ones.

You really want PCI_IOBASE to point to the address of port 0.

I would hope to kill off the __weak functions, and prefer using an #ifdef
around the generic implementation. One way to do it is to define
a macro with the same name, such as

#define pci_remap_iospace pci_remap_iospace

and then use #ifdef around the C function to see if that's arleady defined.

Ah ok, so there are I/O ports that are at least
visible (may or may not be accessed by the driver).

I only see one host bridge here though, and it has a single
I/O port range, so maybe all three ports are inside of
a single PCI domain?

Having high numbers for the I/O ports is definitely a
problem as I mentioned. Anything that tries to access
PC-style legacy devices on the low port numbers
will now directly go on the bus accessing MMIO
registers that it shouldn't, either causing a CPU exception
or (worse) undefined behavior from random register
accesses.
