Good, I guess then either I'll have to do something similar to what ARM does:

| #elif !defined(readb)
| 
| #define readb(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readb"),0)
| #define readw(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readw"),0)
| #define readl(c)                        (__readwrite_bug("readl"),0)
| #define writeb(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writeb")
| #define writew(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writew")
| #define writel(v,c)                     __readwrite_bug("writel")
| 
| #define check_signature(io,sig,len)     (0)
| 
| #endif  /* __mem_pci */

(but use the real BUG() instead, I don't think the above will still
 compile now check_signature() is out-of-line)

And we'll all live with a check_signature() in our kernel, which is used
only by a few legacy drivers that depend on ISA || PCI...

OR I'll have to disable HAS_IOMEM on m68k, and invent a new Kconfig
symbol for lots of other stuff that currently depends on HAS_IOMEM...
