I wouldn't say any drivers rely on this - for the only device driver 
which uses the "Indirect" IO space region above MMIO_UPPER_LIMIT 
(HiSilicon LPC), no child device driver for that host uses ioport_map() 
[those being ipmi si and 8250 generic+of drivers].

Regardless of that, it seems better to return NULL when the port is 
out-of-range, rather than masking it.
