I wonder what the #else path is for. If you don't have PCI, who would
call __io?

No one should call __io without PCI. However, there are drivers that do not build without __io, e.g.:

  CC      drivers/serial/8250.o
drivers/serial/8250.c: In function 'hub6_serial_in':
drivers/serial/8250.c:397: error: implicit declaration of function 'outb'
drivers/serial/8250.c:398: error: implicit declaration of function 'inb'

These references to inb and outb will not be called in runtime anyway, but they are required for the 8250 driver to build. I believe there are other drivers except 8250 that require to have __io, although it will be never actually called on, e.g. Tegra-based platform.
