None of the XGpio functions are available in Linux.  You need to use
the Linux kernel memory access functions instead (in_be32() and
out_be32()).

You also need to use the ioremap() function to map the physical
address of the GPIO block into a virtual address that the kernel can
use:

ie:
static int myteste_init(void)
{
    u32 __iomem *regs;

    regs = ioremap([address of GPIO block], 0x100);
    if (regs == NULL)
        return -ENOMEM;

    /* configure as output */
    out_be32(regs + 4, 0);
    /* turn on leds */
    out_be32(regs, 0);
    printk (KERN_ALERT "LEDS: Turn on\n");
    return 0;
}

This is just a simple example though.  You should follow the pattern
of other device drivers and bind against the of_platform_bus so your
device can be described in the device tree (.dts) file.

Or, better yet, use the existing driver from the Xilinx linux-2.6 git tree.
