I just looked at drivers/char/mem.c and the code in question
is surrounded by 

#if defined(CONFIG_ISA) || !defined(__mc68000__)

which seems just plain wrong.

It should probably be changed to 

#if (defined(CONFIG_ISA) || defined(CONFIG_PCI)) && !defined(__mc68000__)

This code surrounds fileops to enale fileio on /dev/port
which maps to inb/outb.  

Do we want to enable /dev/port for pci space ??
