Those options lines are a bad idea.  If PCI doesn't simply autodetect
you have way bigger problems, and those values may change in the BIOS
any time it feels like it (althought it is unlikely to unless you add or
remove other hardware or upgrade the bios).

You should never have to pass io and irq info for PCI.  only for old
non-pnp isa hardware.
