If there are other platforms that also do PIO in a very similar way it might 
make sense to factor this out.

The reason why we factored out the dmaengine DMA stuff is because there is a 
standard API that hides the implementation details and is supposed to behave 
the same for each system. For PIO you do not have such a abstraction layer 
that hides the details, so I'm not sure how similar PIO between different 
platforms will actually be.
