I'm also really curious what's going on with these values. We should probably 
figure out what they're for before we go hacking them in. Also, please make 
sure an X86 kernel still boots with this change. I remember getting the IDE 
controller to work was a little finicky at least partially because of its 
legacy fixed IO port locations, and it might break even though other ISAs are 
ok.
