I'm changing the kvm userspace interface to be more friendly to other

port size (64K ports). Is that an issue for other archs?
I guess I could change it to __u32, but it's better to know what various
architectures actually require.
PowerPC doesn't have any such concept; access to ISA PIO is done by
having the bridge translate a particular range of MMIO accesses as PIO.
I'm no expert, but I don't know of any mainstream processor other than
x86 that supports PIO.
I think ia64 does, but it's probably exactly the same as x86.
