They have no MMU, and the code relies on the port number to match
both the virtual and the physical address. You could be right about
these, but I would guess that the code also needs some other
changes if we want to make it work on nommu kernels. It also depends
on whether the I/O bus address is the same as the CPU address, or
if it starts at bus address 0.

This looks like a mistake, it should be smaller

io_no.h is for nommu.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
