In other words, the only reason you didn't change the
calculate_iosize() path was because you couldn't test it?

I appreciate your desire to avoid untested changes, but I think it's
very important to preserve and even improve the symmetry between
calculate_memsize() and calculate_iosize(). For example, it's not
obvious why the order is different here:

calculate_iosize():
size = ALIGN(size + size1, align);
if (size < old_size)
size = old_size;

calculate_memsize():
if (size < old_size)
size = old_size;
size = ALIGN(size + size1, align);

So I don't want to diverge them further unless there's a real
functional reason why we need to handle I/O port space differently
than MMIO space.

You've tested the MMIO path, and I'm willing to take the risk of
doing the same thing in the I/O port path.
