Not sure the comment is informative enough.
Maybe something like:

/*
 * On LEON PCI addresses below 64k are converted to IO accesses.
 * io_remap_xxx() (whatever is it called) returns a kernel virtual
 * address in the PCI window so inb() doesn't need to add an offset.
 */

That'll save the next person doing a lot of digging.
