Actually sys/io.h is different from each architecture (thus
architecture specific file). ppc, mips, hppa, m68k and s390 do not
have sys/io.h. I don't know it's intentional or not. Some
architecture maps IO space into the memory, so i386 io style is not
common. Touching IO space is architecture specific (not being
standardized), so it can be ignored if sys/io.h does not exist, but
it's useful if it exists.
BTW, why can't gst-plugins be compiled? Using io interface is very
different for each architecture, apparently there are no common way to
operate io. Does gst-plugins really use sys/io.h?
