OK, finally I am enlightened (by Alan and others). The story is that
there is no portable solution for IO memory acces in current Linux. It is
platform dependent in a non-trivial way:

I will try to put a library to that effect, but I don't have
platforms other then i386. I will cut and pasted code from asm/io.h with
proper adjustments (i.e. no virtual to bus translation, just virtual
mmap()-ed memory). I still have some feeling that it is already done in
io.h, but I will yield.
