Commit:d6a9996e84ac4beb7713e9485f4563e100a9b03e (powerpc/mm:
    vmalloc abstraction in preparation for radix) turned kernel memory
    and IO addresses from #defined constants to variables initialised
    at runtime.
    
    On PA6T systems the setup_arch machine call initialises the onboard
    PCI-e root-ports, and uses pci_io_base to do this, which is now before
    its value has been set resulting in a panic right after 'booting 
    linux via __start()'

    Move the pci_io_base initialisation to the same place as vmalloc
    ranges are set (hash__early_init_mmu()/radix__early_init_mmu())
