currently the rust `Io` type maps to the c read{b, w, l, q}/write{b, w, l, q} functions and have no support for port io. this can be a problem for pci::Bar because the pointer returned by pci_iomap can be either PIO or MMIO [0].
this patch series splits the `Io` type into `Io`, and `MMIo`. `Io` can be used to access PIO or MMIO. `MMIo` can only access memory mapped IO but might, depending on the arch, be faster than `Io`. and updates pci::Bar, so that it is generic over Io and, a user can optionally give a compile time hint about the type of io.
