> read*()/write*() are accessors for PCI and PCI only. PCI is little If read*()/write*() are designed for PCI access only as you claimed, that explains why they call in/out_leXX() funcitons.
The problem is that read*()/write*() are misused in some places, e.g., serial drivers such as serial8250. The serial_in() and serial_out() call read*() and write*() respectively. So what's your recommendation in such a case? Regards, -Shawn.
