Timer allocates too many ports

Hi!

The timer in linux allocates the io ports 0x40 to 0x5F. This is causing some problems for me since the hardware I'm writing a driver for has its ports at 0x4E and 0x4F. In Windows the ports 0x40 to 0x43 are used for the timer. Why does linux allocate so many more ports?
