Actually, I think that's a major bug in the single-zImage conversion:

#ifdef CONFIG_NEED_MACH_IO_H
#include <mach/io.h>
#elif defined(CONFIG_PCI)
#define IO_SPACE_LIMIT ((resource_size_t)0xfffff)
#define __io(a) __typesafe_io(PCI_IO_VIRT_BASE + ((a) & IO_SPACE_LIMIT))
#else
#define __io(a) __typesafe_io((a) & IO_SPACE_LIMIT)
#endif

#ifndef IO_SPACE_LIMIT
#if defined(CONFIG_PCMCIA_SOC_COMMON) || defined(CONFIG_PCMCIA_SOC_COMMON_MODULE)
#define IO_SPACE_LIMIT ((resource_size_t)0xffffffff)
#elif defined(CONFIG_PCI) || defined(CONFIG_ISA) || defined(CONFIG_PCCARD)
#define IO_SPACE_LIMIT ((resource_size_t)0xffff)
#else
#define IO_SPACE_LIMIT ((resource_size_t)0)
#endif
#endif

So, in the !PCI !PCMCIA !ISA !PCCARD case, IO_SPACE_LIMIT will be zero,
which means the above common __io() functions will end up pointing the
access at the NULL pointer - whereas we shouldn't be providing IO space
support at all. (Okay, there's a couple of corner cases we've known
about for a few _years_ but it's about time that stuff got fixed before
we try and put yet more band-aids over this. Fix the root problems
guys, don't create more problems.)
