Let's be explicit here, e.g.,

Currently request_region() requests an IO port region directly from the
top resource, ioport_resource.

I don't understand the strategy here. f71882fg is not a driver for a
PCI device, so it should work even if there is no PCI host in the
system.

On x86, I think inb/inw/inl from a port where nothing responds
probably just returns ~0, and outb/outw/outl just get dropped.
Shouldn't arm64 do the same, without crashing?

Please remove the timestamps (because they don't contribute useful
information) and indent the example a couple spaces (which is
conventional for quoted material).
