To make it more generic, it should probably use the raw*() version, and
the caller should handle bus address conversion. But even that
isn't possible, as there's no guarantee readb(x+1) == raw_readb(x+1).

Anyway, here's a list of its users, as I responded to Andrew in a private
mail before this thread was started:

| drivers/block/xd.c: config BLK_DEV_XD depends on ISA && ISA_DMA_API
| drivers/input/misc/wistron_btns.c: config INPUT_WISTRON_BTNS depends on X86 
&& !X86_64

That should be X86_32 these days?

| drivers/scsi/aha152x.c: config SCSI_AHA152X depends on ISA && SCSI && !64BIT
| drivers/scsi/dtc.c: config SCSI_DTC3280 depends on ISA && SCSI
| drivers/scsi/fdomain.c: config SCSI_FUTURE_DOMAIN depends on (ISA || PCI) && 
SCSI
| drivers/scsi/seagate.c: config SCSI_SEAGATE depends on X86 && ISA && SCSI
| drivers/scsi/t128.c: config SCSI_T128 depends on ISA && SCSI
| drivers/scsi/wd7000.c: config SCSI_7000FASST depends on ISA && SCSI && 
ISA_DMA_API

BTW, include/asm-arm/io.h looks interesting:

| #elif !defined(readb)
| 
| #define readb(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readb"),0)
| #define readw(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readw"),0)
| #define readl(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readl"),0)
| #define writeb(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writeb")
| #define writew(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writew")
| #define writel(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writel")
| 
| #define check_signature(io,sig,len)     (0)
| 
| #endif  /* __mem_pci */

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
