I can't help much with the 2.4 montavista kernel, but I can say that the
error means that the XIo_* helper routines are either not compiled into
the kernel or are not exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL().  The XIo_* routines
are hooks used by Xilinx cross platform device drivers to make the
actual accesses to hardware.  If they are not implemented, then you need
to create them yourself.
