Incidentally, and somewhat related to this:

When I was hacking on tulip.c, I wanted to use tulip-daig to get the
state of the card.  But it uses inl/outl, and on powerpc these have a
kernel private variable (isa_io_base) in their macro expansion.  Is
there any way to make the PCI space available to userland on powerpc,
as iopl() and inb/outb can on x86?
