The problem is that your definition of __armio() is wrong. If you want to
do it right, you need to first find the PCI I/O port ranges and map them
into a virtual address, and then define __armio() in a way to add
the virtual address you have mapped them to.

Alternatively, define the functions so they don't try to access the
pointers but instead just print a warning.
