 Contrarywise, to memory range.

By io range I meant "I/O base", in contrast to "CTL base".

There is no need to apply shifting for CTL. That's why ioport-*
appeared in the first place.

   So, a matter of wrong terminology then. The thing that you meant by 
   "I/O" is actually called "command block".

Yes. And IO is the second name. It's used widespread in the
drivers/ide/.

Now you understand why I'm so reluctant to hanging up different
labels on the single thing? ;-)
