I can find io.h for mips in arch/mips/asm/include/{,sn/} However, io.h doesn't get installed when i do "make ARCH=mips headers_install" on linux 2.6.30.6

I don't think so (for two reasons):
1) The things in /usr/include/sys are provided by libc not the kernel.
2) MIPS doesn't have I/O ports, so all the functions in sys/io.h on an
x86 are undefined for MIPS.
