We need to use the MMIO BAR at least for starting DMA transfers, the
I/O ones are 64KB-limited. We can't just use read[bw] if reading all
32 bits has side effects.
Most of the time there are no problems with MMIO on IXP4xx as modern
devices usually use 32-bit registers anyway, or at least they have no
problem with read[bw] always driving all four PCI byte enable lines
(write[bw] doesn't have this issue).
