[RFC v2 00/39] Kconfig: Introduce HAS_IOPORT config option

Hello Kernel Hackers,

Some platforms such as s390 do not support PCI I/O spaces. On such platforms
I/O space accessors like inb()/outb() are stubs that can never actually work.
The way these stubs are implemented in asm-generic/io.h leads to compiler
warnings because any use will cause a NULL pointer access. In a previous patch
we tried handling this with a run-time warning on access. This approach however
was rejected by Linus[0] with the argument that this really should be
a compile-time check and, though a much more invasive change, we believe that
is indeed the right approach.

This patch series aims to do exactly that by introducing a HAS_IOPORT config
option akin to the existing HAS_IOMEM. When this is unset inb()/outb() and
friends may not be defined.

This series builts heavily on an original patch for demonstating the concept by
Arnd Bergmann[1] and is a stripped down version of a previous RFC[2]. The most
important change being that we dropped the LEGACY_PCI config option in favor of
using HAS_IOPORT regardless of whether the device is a legacy PCI device.
As this is a significant change to the overall series I did not carry over
previous R-bs.

This version is based on v5.18-rc4 and is also available on my kernel.org tree
in the has_ioport branch with the PGP signed tag has_ioport_rfc_v2:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/niks/linux.git

Thanks,
Niklas Schnelle

Changes from RFC v1:
- Completely dropped the LEGACY_PCI option and replaced its dependencies with
  HAS_IOPORT as appropriate
- In the usb subsystem patch I incorporated the feedback from v1 by Alan Stern:
  - Used a local macro to nop in*()/out*() in the helpers
  - Removed an unnecessary further restriction on CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD
- Added a few more subsystems including wireless, ptp, and, mISDN that I had
  previously missed due to a blanket !S390.
- Removed blanket !S390 dependencies where they are added due to the I/O port
  problem
- In the sound system SND_OPL3_LIB needed to use "depends on" instead of
  "select" because of its added HAS_IOPORT dependency
- In the drm subsystem the bochs driver gets #ifdefs instead of a blanket
  dependency because its MMIO capable device variant should work without
  HAS_IOPORT.
