I figured you might have access to the official allocations from the PCI
SIG.

The SDHC standard itself is a well guarded secret. We're basing this
work on the little information that is out there and reverse engineering
the Windows driver. The PCI registers are described in a spec. by Texas
Instruments though:
http://www-s.ti.com/sc/ds/pci6411.pdf
They only use three bits for each field (since their controller only has
three slots), but the Windows driver reads four so that is what I've put
in the patch.
