SubjectRe: [RFC v2 02/39] ACPI: add dependency on HAS_IOPORT

CONFIG_ACPI depends on ARCH_SUPPORTS_ACPI, which is only set by arm64,
ia64, and x86, all of which support I/O port access. So does this
actually solve a problem? I wouldn't think you'd be able to build
ACPI on s390 even without this patch.

"ACPI always uses I/O port access" is a pretty broad brush, and it
would be useful to know specifically what the dependencies are.

Many ACPI hardware accesses use acpi_hw_read()/acpi_hw_write(), which
use either MMIO or I/O port accesses depending on what the firmware
told us.
