Hi John,

I looked over the latest version of your patches, everything looks
good to me, but I found one problem that you have probably copied
from other platforms:

The definition of __io() looks wrong, so any call to inb()/outb()
will be a wild pointer access when you add PCI support.

If you don't plan to support PCI in the future, there should
be no problem.
