 POWER9 is another architecture with no port I/O space[1]:

 1. All other valid PCIe command types are ignored and dropped.
 2. Invalid PCIe request command types will result in a completion
    response of Unsupported Request.

that we do support -- I have such a system.  And I guess POWER10 is the 
same, as will be all future architecture updates.
