Sorry I wasn't clear: the problem here is when CONFIG_EISA is disabled,
the eisa_in/out calls are replaced by BUG() stubs, and the stubs do not
consume their input:

arch/parisc/include/asm/io.h

#if defined(CONFIG_PCI)
extern void outb(unsigned char b, int addr);
#elif defined(CONFIG_EISA)
#define outb eisa_out8
#else
#define outb(x, y)	BUG()
#endif
