How the 0x3f7 port could be used without allocation? My BIOS doesn't list
0x3f0-0x3f1 ports as resurces of the PNP0700 device too, but fdc(4) use them
anyhow:

PNP0700: adding dma mask 0x4
PNP0700: adding io range 0x3f2-0x3f5, size=0x4, align=0
PNP0700: adding irq mask 0x40
pnpbios: handle 12 device ID PNP0700 (0007d041)

# devinfo -uv | grep -e "0x37[0-5,7]" -e "0x3f[0-5,7]"
    0x300-0x375 (root0)
    0x377 (root0)
    0x3f0-0x3f5 (fdc0)
    0x3f7 (root0)
