What you describe here are probable two bugs, and we should fix both:

* ARCH_VEXPRESS should not select NO_IOPORT. It's generally wrong
  to select this in combination with ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM, when some
  of the other platforms you may enable actually have IOPORT mapping
  support.

* We should not unconditionally select ARCH_VEXPRESS from ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM.
  There is no reason why we would enable that platform for building
  a kernel that runs on only one other platform.

Sorry, I meant pcim_iomap.

Right. If an ioport_map function is provided for a given platform,
we should also set HAVE_IOPORT and vice versa. This is probably
fallout of the io.h conversion for multiplatform.
