Upon resume, it swaps window configurations of pcib1 and pcib2 (until FreeBSD
restores them).  pcib1 originally does not have an I/O window.  So, BIOS
programs both base and limit of pcib2 I/O window to zero.   When FreeBSD writes
its command register to enable I/O decoding it starts claiming 0x0 - 0xFFF I/O
port range.  That covers the ACPI ports at 0x8xx.

Some printf-s.
>From (verbose) boot time:
pcib1:   domain            0
pcib1:   secondary bus     1
pcib1:   subordinate bus   1
pcib1:   memory decode     0xfea00000-0xfeafffff
pcib2:   domain            0
pcib2:   secondary bus     2
pcib2:   subordinate bus   2
pcib2:   I/O decode        0xf000-0xffff
pcib2:   memory decode     0xfe900000-0xfe9fffff

My printf-s from resume time:
pcib1: old I/O base (low): 0xf1
pcib1: old I/O base (high): 0x0
pcib1: old I/O limit (low): 0x1
pcib1: old I/O limit (high): 0x0
pcib2: old I/O base (low): 0x1
pcib2: old I/O base (high): 0x0
pcib2: old I/O limit (low): 0x1
pcib2: old I/O limit (high): 0x0
