I think s390 currently uses the inb() in asm-generic/io.h, i.e., "__raw_readb(PCI_IOBASE + addr)". I understand that's a NULL pointer dereference because the default PCI_IOBASE is 0. I mooted a s390 inb() implementation like "return ~0" because that's what happens on most arches when there's no device to respond to the inb(). The HAS_IOPORT dependencies are fairly ugly IMHO, and they clutter drivers that use I/O ports in some cases but not others. But maybe it's the most practical way. Bjorn
