[parisc-linux] Recent CVS kernel: boot failure on 715/50 & inb() undefined

Since about yesterday CVS kernels seems to stop booting after the
traps_init message.

Hardware: 715/50, serial console. I can remeber this happening before 
but it was 'fixed' by disabling support for PCI chipsets.

Also: I had to tweak the kernel a bit so it would link, because inb()
and outb() was undefined (referenced in driverd/cher/mem.c and
drivers/char/serial.c). 

I could see that the code in mem.c had some '#if !defined(__mc68000__)'
around them, perhaps there should be a CONFIG_PORT_IO #define to test for
which could be undefined on machines such as the 715 without a wax driver.

Or maybe inb() and outb() should always be defined?
