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.
