acpi_intp had no permission check and I don't recall any
bugs filed, though any problem resulting from non-atomic access
to PCI config space is likely to be pretty mysterious.
I seem to recall also that this was work done is response
to some mysterious problems which were later root-caused elsewhere?
No, not really. This (adding I/O permission checks) was done
to prevent possible mysterious issues with unsafe hardware
access, in a moment of zeal on my part.
Heavens. This is a non-trivial bit of work.

Heh. I'll be including such an option in the current
refresh under development.
