There is no problem with making declarations visible for functions that
are not part of the kernel, we do that all the time.

Yes, sounds good.

That is an interesting limitation. Maybe still call the extio operations
and have them do WARN_ON_ONCE() instead?

If you get a driver that calls inw/outw on the range that is owned
by the LPC bus, you otherwise get an unhandled page fault in kernel
space, which is not as nice.

Ok, that simplifies it a lot, you can just do everything in asm/io.h then.
