Yes, on x86. What about other architectures?

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/m68k/include/asm/io_mm.h#L110
110 #define inl     mcf_pci_inl

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/m68k/platform/coldfire/pci.c#L163
163 u32 mcf_pci_inl(u32 addr)
164 {
165         return le32_to_cpu(__raw_readl(iospace + (addr & PCI_IO_MASK)));
166 }

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/m68k/platform/coldfire/pci.c#L37
 37 #define PCI_IO_SIZE     0x00010000              /* 64k */
 38 #define PCI_IO_MASK     (PCI_IO_SIZE - 1)

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/m68k/include/asm/raw_io.h#L54
 54 #define __raw_readl in_be32

http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/arch/m68k/include/asm/raw_io.h#L36
 36 #define in_be32(addr) \
 37     ({ u32 __v = (*(__force volatile u32 *) (addr)); __v; })

As far as I can see, you'd get a slightly out-of-bounds read here. Or
is that feature only intended for x86?
