Correct.  If HAS_IOPORT is not selected then we are potentially missing
the dependent functions (because the platform has no IOPORT support) _or_
it does have ISA/PCI IO spaces _but_ they're not mappable via the
ioport_map() mechanism due to some non-linearity involved in the
translation.

To make that second point clear, that's platforms where:

	ioport_map(addr + 4) != ioport_map(addr) + 4.
