I vaguely remember that /proc/ioports and /proc/iomem tracks only actual allocations by drivers. So the driver is supposed to get the resources from ACPI, but until a driver actually allocates the ports (I fail to recall the exact Linux APIs ATM -- apologies), the registers might not show up in these pseudo-files. OTOH Gabriel is working on a guest kernel driver that would look at ACPI I think...
