Better set IO_SPACE_LIMIT to zero then, which should prevent drivers
from doing NULL pointer dereferences when they want to access I/O
space.

These definitions might not be safe, because gcc can turn these
accesses into byte-wise pointer dereferences when it feels like it.
Better use inline assembly.

I'm working on a patch set to make it possible to build the
kernel without having to define these when you have no PCI.
Maybe you can leave them out already and see how far you get
on your platform?

It will definitely break allyesconfig right now, but perhaps
not break any of the drivers that you actually use.

It seems very inconsistent to provide outb but not inb.

You don't need these when you set CONFIG_NO_IOPORT.
