Right. I still think it should be conditional on PCI || ISA || PCMCIA,
not introducing a new kconfig symbol, and the next step should be to
unify the __io() implementations for the platforms that need them.

I would very much like to see a lot of the series get merged as it
brings us closer to the single zimage, but I agree we have to be
careful not to add extra complexity (or bugs, for that matter).
