Ah, CONFIG_PCI is not enable in nios2. So, I think IO_SPACE_LIMIT
should set to 0.

Okay. Will move the macros to out-of-line function.

I think these macros can be removed if PCI is not enabled in Nios2.

Okay. Will remove these.

These also can be removed.

Okay, these will change to something like:
#define readsb(p, d, l)              io_insb(p, d, l)
#define readsw(p, d, l)              io_insw(p, d, l)
(etc)
