[Bug libc/2210] New: [PATCH] Move sys/io.h to sysdeps/{i386,x86_64}/

[rmh at aybabtu dot com]

Former discussion in libc-alpha (see
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2002-09/msg00153.html) suggests that it
is not a problem if sys/io.h declares iopl() when the system doesn't have it. 
Besides, iopl() can be implemented in userland when kernel offers an interface
with similar functionality (for kFreeBSD, we implemented it as a wrapper to
/dev/io).

If we count i386-pc-kfreebsd-gnu and x86_64-pc-kfreebsd-gnu, that'll be at least
5 platforms using a copy of the same sys/io.h file (only with cosmetical
differences).  I think it makes sense to move to sysdeps/i386 and sysdeps/x86_64
so that the file can be shared between them.

Please consider the attached patch.

And use comments mentioning Linux on Hurd etc?  Right...

Beside, for these kind of system specific headers I have no interest in handling
the fallout of changes just because some platforms wants to be slightly different.
