Subject: paravirt: helper to disable all IO space
From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com>

In a virtual environment, device drivers such as legacy IDE will waste quite a
lot of time probing for their devices which will never appear.  This helper
function allows a paravirt implementation to lay claim to the whole iomem and
ioport space, thereby disabling all device drivers trying to claim IO
resources.
