Don't the I/O port macros just treat the port as an absolute base address
when sh_io_port_base isn't set?
As far as I can tell, sh_io_port_base gets initialized to '-1'
specifically to prevent that from working by accident. So it's
almost treated as an absolute base address, but the off-by-one
offset ensures this never actually works unless it was first
set to the correct value.
