Correct.  That code was left over from this:

static u8
sgiioc4_INB(unsigned long port)
{
        u8 reg = (u8) inb(port);

        if ((port & 0xFFF) == 0x11C) {  /* Status register of IOC4 */
                if (reg & 0x51) {       /* Not busy...check for interrupt */
                        unsigned long other_ir = port - 0x110;
                        unsigned int intr_reg = (u32) inl(other_ir);

                        /* Clear the Interrupt, Error bits on the IOC4 */
                        if (intr_reg & 0x03) {
                                outl(0x03, other_ir);
                                intr_reg = (u32) inl(other_ir);
                        }
                }
        }

        return reg;     
}

Thanks for the cleanup.
