SubjectRe: [PATCH v4 2/3] lib: logic_pio: Reject accesses to unregistered CPU MMIO regions

Right

It reads quite well so I can incorporate it. I'd still like to mention
about request_{muxed_}region(), and how this does not protect against
accesses to unregistered regions.

Yes, it would be good to move any arch-specific port IO function to this
common framework. To mention it again, what's under
CONFIG_PPC_INDIRECT_PIO seems an obvious candidate.
