iopl is a function to set permissions on an already mapped memory region.
The kernel module does not need to get these perms set since its request
are done by the privileged root-user.
So for a PCI card either you need to use
* check_region,request_region and releas_region + inb/oub inw/outw etc.
* or you need to use ioremap and grab the memory slot for your device and
then access it with readb/writeb etc.
in your kernel module. The base address needed for these operations you
should find in the pci_dev structure of that card.
now that the IO-map is set up a user-space program with the necessary
privileges can request to access that memory area with iopl. So I don't
think you want iopl in a kernel-module.
