[PATCH v2 0/6] rust: add support for port io

currently the rust `Io` type maps to the c read{b, w, l, q}/write{b, w, l, q}
functions and have no support for port io. this can be a problem for pci::Bar
because the pointer returned by pci_iomap can be either PIO or MMIO [0].

this patch series splits the `Io` type into `Io`, and `MMIo`. `Io` can be
used to access PIO or MMIO. `MMIo` can only access memory mapped IO but
might, depending on the arch, be faster than `Io`. and updates pci::Bar,
so that it is generic over Io and, a user can optionally give a compile
time hint about the type of io.

changes in v2:
  - remove `PortIo`
  - typo fixes
  - squash "fixup" patches so that patches will not introduce build fails
  - move some changes across patches so that build will not fail
  - changes macro define in rust/helpers/io.c to use full rust name
  - specialize `io_backend` for the x86 case
  - do not modify lib/iomap.c
  - rebased on v6.15-rc6
