- * Set `iobase' to the appropriate address in region 6 (uncached access range).
+ * Set `iobase' based on the EFI memory map or, failing that, the
+ * value firmware left in ar.k0.
*
- * The EFI memory map is the "preferred" location to get the I/O port space base,
- * rather the relying on AR.KR0. This should become more clear in future SAL
- * specs. We'll fall back to getting it out of AR.KR0 if no appropriate entry is
- * found in the memory map.
+ * Note that in ia32 mode, IN/OUT instructions use ar.k0 to compute
+ * the port's virtual address, so ia32_load_state() loads it with a
+ * user virtual address. But in ia64 mode, glibc uses the
+ * *physical* address in ar.k0 to mmap the appropriate area from
+ * /dev/mem, and the inX()/outX() interfaces use MMIO. In both
+ * cases, user-mode can only use the legacy 0-64K I/O port space.
+ *
+ * ar.k0 is not involved in kernel I/O port accesses, which can use
+ * any of the I/O port spaces and are done via MMIO using the
+ * virtual mmio_base from the appropriate io_space[].
