Yes, possibly with a comment added regarding PCI.

We have a bunch of ISA device drivers that use these interfaces but
are not built conditionally through a Kconfig dependency. If you
want 'allyesconfig' to build successfully, you have to provide some
dummy implementation.

For this, there is a Kconfig symbol. If you don't provide ioport_map,
you should set CONFIG_NO_IOPORT_MAP. Uwe Kleine-König has recently
started some work in this area. Ideally we would also have a CONFIG_HAS_IOPORT
option that is only set by architectures that actually implement inb/outb.
Getting there still needs work, but any help is appreciated.
