Well, not all those ports are used by the original 8259A.  And the PIC 2,
is 'only' at range A0-AF, according to Ralf Brown list.  Linux extend it a
little, but I don't know why.

If I understand Intel's specs for the 8259A, this chip supports just two
 ports (one address line, 2 states). And after looking into the kernel boot
 code: Linux is touching only A0 and A1.
Interesting...
