Nope, it's like PCI memory, but different. You have to use isa_readb() and
friends to access it.

While ISA I/O space and PCI I/O space are the same on many machines with memory
mapped I/O (with a size limitation for ISA I/O), ISA memory space and PCI
memory space are different. Cfr. on my CHRP LongTrail:

| callisto$ cat /proc/iomem
| 00000000-08000000 : RAM
| c0000000-f6ffffff : GG2 PCI mem

| c1000000-c107ffff : Apple Computer Inc. Hydra Mac I/O
| c1080000-c108007f : Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]
| c1080000-c108007f : eth0
