NAK, this has to be sorted out differently (and I think we discussed it
before).

The driver works just fine with MMIO where available, so if `inb'/`outb'
do get removed, then only parts that rely on port I/O need to be disabled.
In fact there's already such provision there in drivers/net/fddi/defxx.c
for TURBOchannel systems (CONFIG_TC), which have no port I/O space either:

#if defined(CONFIG_EISA) || defined(CONFIG_PCI)
#define dfx_use_mmio bp->mmio
#else
#define dfx_use_mmio true
#endif

so I guess it's just the conditional that will have to be changed to:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT

replacing the current explicit bus dependency list. The compiler will
then optimise away all the port I/O stuff (though I suspect dummy function
declarations may be required for `inb'/`outb', etc.).

I can verify a suitable change with a TURBOchannel configuration once the
MIPS part has been sorted.
