With PCI, it works differently. As the IO component is able to iterate
over the PCI bus to find all devices and the resources (MMIO, IRQs, ...)
they use/need, you don't need to specify the resources yourself.

Please have a look at l4/conf/examples/l4lx-x86.io. There is an l4linux
vbus which does what you need, i.e. it defines a virtual PCI bus and
puts all devices of a certain class, including storage, on it.
This configuration is also used in the L4Linux-mag configuration.
With this L4Linux will iterate over its virtual PCI bus and find the
AHCI controller.
