Subjectiopl on ALPHA
Date
From
I'm in the process of updating isapnptools, and just got rid
of all references to ioperm because iopl is needed anyway on
x86 systems and gives unrestricted port access.

I have some alpha patches, which don't use iopl, but just
use ioperm, so the question is, how do IO permissions work
on Alpha ? (More specifically, does iopl exist and do the
same thing for alpha systems as x86).

Grepping the kernel sources shows nothing for ioperm or iopl
for alpha systems, so I guess it's a C library thing. Would
someone please tell me how IO works on Alpha systems, or
point me in the right direction.

Ta.
