The most simple way would be to put it into linux/drivers/misc and add it
to the Makefile in there.

The comment tells you that you either need to implement these functions
youself or #define USE_IO_MACROS in the code before this.

These macros are probably broken on powerpc.

I would suggest you remove that part of the header file completely, and
replace it with:
#define XIo_In32(p) in_le32(x)
#define XIO_Out32(p,v) out_le32(p, v)
