This address is reserved in an ACPI DSDT table for Intel Haswell in
Coreboot project, Vlv2DeviceRefCodePkg package in EDK II as well as my
Haswell laptop on which I can see it through `dmesg` :-)

I haven't found any Intel spec or any other document that suggests such
address, but from "9.4 Memory Map" section in ICH9 spec, it seems safe
to use that MMIO region for the 16KiB of chipset configuration
registers.

Given that, I would say so.

Thanks,

Paulo
