Sure, if you build the kernel just for one machine, there is no reason to include code that tries to access fixed I/O ports. What I'm more worried about is that as we're moving to multi-platform kernels you want to build for other hardware, e.g. one that has a PC-style keyboard controller and one that has a funny mapping like that. Normally, the driver for the keyboard controller should just access the well-known port number and not find anything there, because PCI devices are mapped above port 0x1000. What you get instead is a kernel NULL pointer access.
