Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Add a default IO_SPACE_LIMIT definition.  Explain the chosen value and
suggest why platforms would want to make it larger.

* This is the limit of PC card/PCI/ISA IO space, which is by default
* 64K if we have PC card, PCI or ISA support. Otherwise, default to
* zero to prevent ISA/PCI drivers claiming IO space (and potentially
* oopsing.)
*
* Only set this larger if you really need inb() et.al. to operate over
* a larger address space. Note that SOC_COMMON ioremaps each sockets
* IO space area, and so inb() et.al. must be defined to operate as per
* readb() et.al. on such platforms.
