Hi Niklas,

We introduce a new HAS_IOPORT Kconfig option to gate support for
I/O port access. In a future patch HAS_IOPORT=n will disable compilation
of the I/O accessor functions inb()/outb() and friends on architectures
which can not meaningfully support legacy I/O spaces. On these platforms
inb()/outb() etc are currently just stubs in asm-generic/io.h which when
called will cause a NULL pointer access which some compilers actually
detect and warn about.
The dependencies on HAS_IOPORT in drivers as well as ifdefs for
HAS_IOPORT specific sections will be added in subsequent patches on
a per subsystem basis. Then a final patch will ifdef the I/O access
functions on HAS_IOPORT thus turning any use not gated by HAS_IOPORT
into a compile-time warning.

Thanks for your patch!

This looks way too broad to me: most m68k platform do not have I/O
port access support.
My gut feeling says:
select HAS_IOPORT if PCI || ISA
but that might miss some intricate details...
