alphas don't setup i/o space behind PCI-PCI bridges.
Not that I've ever seen a bridged puc card and I'm not aware of any
alpha with onboard PCI-PCI bridges.
Having io space is optionaly acording to PCI specs anyway and cards as
well as drivers (at least architecture idependent) shouldn't rely on
that.
