If you look at a modern linux distro, nothing should need/use iopl and
co anymore, so maybe an interesting
question is if we can stick these behind a CONFIG_ option (default on
of course for compatibility)... just like
some of the /dev/mem like things are now hidable for folks who know
they don't need them.
