So... you're now fine with isa_io_base?

no, I'd like to get rid of it and deprecate  the  use of inb/outb
interfaces on power.

Our Maple systems *have* an ISA bus. They do. It contains serial, NVRAM,
and the RTC. I don't understand why you want to pretend they don't.
I don't care what bus the device is on, just its address, and code exists to access the device that way. I see no reason to simulate an instruction from another architecture (inb/outb). If the 16550 was on the system without an ISA then inb/outb would be useless.
I'm proposing we use readb/writeb exclusively.
