Ah right. Added "select HAS_IOPORT" for LoongArch.

I did use "select HAS_IOPORT if PCI || ISA || ATARI_ROM_ISA" in m68k so
I think ideally we would handle both in the same way. I don't have a
strong preference but I think the "select HAS_IOPORT if ..." puts it
all in a single place which is nice. Also I think this would make it
more similar architectures with unconditional HAS_IOPORT that thus
don't need "depends on HAS_IOPORT" in their "config ISA" either. As
also pointed by your comment below for x86. So will try to go this
route.

I don't recall why this was removed. I guess it happened when I was
experimenting with adding "depends on HAS_IOPORT" for the ISA config
options but that ultimately lead to circular dependencies, must have
messed up when removing this here.

Agree will put into its own patch and re-add the !PARISC
