My current understanding of this problem is this:
The "ioport.c" file in the kernel was written using the gcc documentation on
the workings of its optimisation code. That documentation currently does not
reflect gcc's internal workings accurately. Linus wants the gcc developers
to decide which is wrong: the documentation or the code.
You can circumvent the problem by using "ioport.c" from a recent 2.1.x
kernel.
