About variable "IOPortBase"

[belcon zhao]

Hi,

I am working a Xorg graphic chip driver, but find some bugs(Xorg crashed
while switching between X windows and console). So I need a Xorg server
with debug info. That's why I want to compile Xorg.

The original Xorg which came with Debian got IOPortBase assigned
correctly which means that resource of my graphic chip is ok.

The problem is my driver used function outb() which was defined as :
static __inline__ void
outb(unsigned PORT_SIZE port, unsigned char val)
{
        *(volatile unsigned char*)(((unsigned
PORT_SIZE)(port))+IOPortBase) = val;
}
Just found that IOPortBase wasn't set correctly.
As I found that IOPortBase was only set in the file arm_video.c, I think
that outb() shouldn't be as above. There are several different version
of outb(). So I just think that maybe I should do some extra work to let
Xorg find correct version of outb().
