The problem with this is that it only papers over the bug. I don't mind trying to allocate at higher addresses per se: we used to have the starting point be 0x4000 at some point, and that part is fine. The problem is that this also screws us if somebody has a PCI bridge with an IO window that is at a lower address than 0x2000 - now the PCI layer will refuse to try to allocate within it, and you'll replace one bug by another.
