------------------------------------------------------
Subject: hdrinstall: remove asm/io.h from user visibility
From: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the kernel's
headers are not intended to provide a library of helper routines for
userspace.  Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on most architectures
anyway.  Just say 'no'.
