This patchset supports the IPMI-bt device attached to the Low-Pin-Count
interface implemented on Hisilicon Hip06/Hip07 SoC.

When master accesses those peripherals beneath the Hip06/Hip07 LPC, a specific
LPC driver is needed to make LPC host generate the standard LPC I/O cycles with
the target peripherals'I/O port addresses. But on curent arm64 world, there is
no real I/O accesses. All the I/O operations through in/out accessors are based
on MMIO ranges; on Hip06/Hip07 LPC the I/O accesses are performed through driver
specific accessors rather than MMIO.
To solve this issue and keep the relevant existing peripherals' drivers untouched,
this patchset:
   - introduces a generic I/O space management framework, logical PIO, to support
      I/O operations on host controllers operating either on MMIO buses or on buses
     requiring specific driver I/O accessors;
   - redefines the in/out accessors to provide a unified interface for both MMIO
     and driver specific I/O operations. Using logical PIO, th call of in/out() from
     the host children drivers, such as ipmi-si, will be redirected to the
     corresponding device-specific I/O hooks to perform the I/O accesses.

Based on this patch-set, all the I/O accesses to Hip06/Hip07 LPC peripherals can
be supported without any changes on the existing ipmi-si driver.

The whole patchset has been tested on Hip07 D05 board both using DTB and ACPI.

Differences to v13:
- dropped ACPI scan handler and added patch to not enumerate children
  of indirect IO hosts in ACPI code
- tidied up logic_pio.c a bit for kerneldoc and made some APIs clearer
  to understand
- tided (and simplified) hisi_lpc.c and added new ACPI probe code
  (same as previous ACPI scan handler code, so comments from Rafael
  and Andy included)
- reinstated PCI range upper limit check in pci_pio_to_address()
- dropped Dann Frazier's "tested-by" tag in light of changes
- rebase to linuxnext 20180219 (had to fix locally arm64 build issue)
Some minor comments per patches, otherwise FWIW

Thanks, the comments in the other 2 patches I did not reply to are ok.
