Addendum: After looking at the source, I'm still confused.

Usually the first 8259 PIC is at I/O address 0x20 and the second at 0xa0. But
the I/O space of the first pci-node is e.g. mapped at 0xfe000000 on the Peg2.

How does an address of 0xf1000cb4 help me now? Is it the memory-mapped
base address of the first PIC? But where are the registers for the second
one? 0x80 bytes from there?
