I often use it as an alternative to #include <asm/io.h>, which you decreed illegal. I understand <sys/io.h> is a legal alternative, but a bunch of platforms forget to include <sys/io.h>, for instance Jes cried bloody murder when asked to add it to ia-64. But if you decide to drop /dev/port I can tough it out. Solaris lives without it, and so can we.
I saw this whining about outl not implemented for write(fd, &my_int, 4), and I think the guy had a little point. Though if he wanted it, he ought to submit a patch.
