From looking at the bug report, my impression is that this is a qemu 
issue, as the logical IO space is mapped to the PCI host bridge IO 
space, and qemu does not handle accesses to that CPU addressable region 
at all. As Arnd said.

However, we really should not be accessing logical IO ports 0 or 0x2f8 
at all via ttyS3 if not enumerated from PCI device at that logical IO 
port. That is what I think anyway, as who knows what device - if any - 
really exists at that location. That is why I had this patch to just 
stop accesses to legacy IO port regions on arm64:
