Hi Niklas,

Thanks for your endless work on this. I have now pulled it into
the asm-generic tree as I want to ensure we get enough time to
test this as part of linux-next before the merge window.

If minor issues still come up, I would try to fix those as
add-on patches to avoid rebasing my tree.

I also expect that we will continue with add-on patches in
the future, in particular I hope to make HAS_IOPORT optional
on arm, arm64 and powerpc, and only enabled for
configurations that actually want it.
