We cannot, I think the platform will define if this is the case and where.
@oleksandr: I remember that this was discussed during some of our
meetings but I have no idea of the details here, can you help ?

At the end we will never have to issue this because this will never be a matter
of “iomem” permission as there would not be any way to cut on something under
the page. If this is to be supported one day, it will probably have to be fully emulated
to keep the isolation.

Right now on arm you can just make the more simple assumption that ioports are
just not supported.

Bertrand
