You have to open /dev/mem and do a mmap of the physical pages for the
PCI I/O space.  You would then need to have a variable called
isa_io_base and put the address you get back from mmap into it.
PCI I/O space is usually at 0xf2000000 on older powermacs.  If you
want to get fancy, you can wander through /proc/device-tree looking
for the primary PCI bridge and use that to work out where the I/O
space is.
