It was easy to hack up a quick patch to try the idea out.

This single-arch patch is for review purposes only; I compile-tested it
on i386, and it has no obvious problems at compile- or link-time.

If it looks OK, I have a complete patch set that affects all arches.
The parts that affect arch/*/lib/Makefile and include/asm-*/io.h are
essentially identical in all cases.
