I've tried to interpret what is there, please correct me if this is wrong:

RPC and ebsa110 have ISA, or some twisted version of that. I believe
RPC doesn't select CONFIG_ISA because it has no actual ISA slots but
it still uses legacy ISA I/O and we might just select it anyway.

s3c24xx seems to have ISA in a similar way on the "bast" machine,
while the setup code for that got copied into some platforms that
don't really require it.

ixp4xx has PCI, but does not always use direct MMIO to access the
memory or I/O spaces.

I guess the only way we can ever make these ones use a common header
file (in case we care) by letting them go through an indirect
struct io_ops { u8 (*inb)(int); void (*outb)(u8, int); ... };,
but we might not care enough.

sa1100 has pcmcia slots that use their own method (setting io_offset)
of redirecting the i/o space into the right location. As Russell
mentioned, this is broken if you load an ISA device driver that
uses hardcoded port numbers, or as I might add when you use /dev/port.

pxa seems to do the same as sa1100 for PCMCIA and PCI, but I can't figure
out what they do for ISA. I suspect they only enable that in order to
get ISA device drivers for PCMCIA based add-on cards.

clps711x for all I can tell is broken as you say.

I think omap1 and at91 fit into the same category as sa1100 and pxa
regarding pcmcia. All four can in theory be converted to use a
common virtual mapping as we want to have for PCI.

We could also generalize the implementation from tegra, which seems
reasonable as a start:


#define IO_SPACE_LIMIT 0xffff

#if defined(CONFIG_ISA) || defined(CONFIG_PCCARD)
#include <mach/io.h>
#elif defined(CONFIG_PCI)
extern void __iomem *pci_io_base;

static inline void __iomem *__io(unsigned long addr)
{
        return pci_io_base + (addr & IO_SPACE_LIMIT);
}
#else
static inline void __iomem *__io(unsigned long addr)
{
        return NULL;
}
#endif
#define __io(a) __io(a)

Out of the platforms supporting PCI right now, we currently have these three classes:

1. portable, but using different virtual addresses:
arch/arm/mach-integrator/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)                      ((void __iomem *)(PCI_IO_VADDR + (a)))
arch/arm/mach-ixp23xx/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(p)         ((void __iomem*)((p) + IXP23XX_PCI_IO_VIRT))
arch/arm/mach-ixp2000/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(p)                 ((void __iomem *)((p)+IXP2000_PCI_IO_VIRT_BASE))
arch/arm/mach-shark/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)                 ((void __iomem *)(0xe0000000 + (a)))
arch/arm/mach-footbridge/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)                      ((void __iomem *)(PCIO_BASE + (a)))
arch/arm/mach-tegra/include/mach/io.h:static inline void __iomem *__io(unsigned long addr)
arch/arm/mach-kirkwood/include/mach/io.h:static inline void __iomem *__io(unsigned long addr)
arch/arm/mach-dove/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)    ((void __iomem *)(((a) - DOVE_PCIE0_IO_BUS_BASE) + \

2. Does not map the I/O space, or does not use it -- I cannot see how
   any of these use PIO based PCI devices at all, probably broken already:
arch/arm/mach-cns3xxx/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)                 __typesafe_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-ixp4xx/include/mach/io.h:#define  __io(v)         __typesafe_io(v)
arch/arm/mach-ks8695/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)          __typesafe_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-orion5x/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)                 __typesafe_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-sa1100/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)          __typesafe_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-pxa/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)             __typesafe_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-versatile/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a)               __typesafe_io(a)

3. scary multi-way translation, needs someone to really understand (Nico?, Lennert?)
arch/arm/mach-iop32x/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(p)          ((void __iomem *)IOP3XX_PCI_IO_PHYS_TO_VIRT(p))
arch/arm/mach-iop33x/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(p)          ((void __iomem *)IOP3XX_PCI_IO_PHYS_TO_VIRT(p))
arch/arm/mach-iop13xx/include/mach/io.h:#define __io(a) __iop13xx_io(a)
arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/include/mach/io.h:static inline void __iomem *__io(unsigned long addr)

I think if we can figure out the third category, this should all become
fairly easy for PCI based platforms.
