On x86, calling inb/outb special instructions (used in UIO ioport read/write parts) is only possible if the right IO permissions has been granted.
The only user of this API (the net/virtio pmd) checks this unconditionnaly but this should be hidden by the rte_pci_ioport API itself and only checked when the device is bound to a UIO driver.
