Kyösti Mälkki d2cdfff63b device/pci: Rewrite PCI MMCONF with symbol reference
The effect of pointer aliasing on writes is that any data on CPU
registers that has been resolved from (non-const and non-volatile)
memory objects has to be discarded and resolved. In other words, the
compiler assumes that a pointer that does not have an absolute value
at build-time, and is of type 'void *' or 'char *', may write over
any memory object.

Using a unique datatype for MMIO writes makes the pointer to _not_
qualify for pointer aliasing with any other objects in memory. This
avoid constantly resolving the PCI MMCONF address, which is a derived
value from a 'struct device *'.
