Another benefit to this change is that we can let PCI bridge drivers futz with 
the address and data values if needed.  One case where this is needed is the 
HT2000 chipset which apparently is too brain-damaged to use the default MSI 
address window on x86.  We can patch pcib_map_msi() to update the address 
value for the workaround address window given in the errata so that devices 
behind those bridges can now work.
