Trying to looks a bus (machine) address up in dom0's mem_map
(pseudo-physical) won't yield anything sensible.

Presumably the driver isn't expecting to find memory behind the
aperture? Is it just trying to reserve the bus address range for
purposes of ensuring that other PCI devices don't get allocated to it?
