Yes: on Linux ioperm doesn't work above 0x400. On Linux, so as to
access ports above 0x400 you need to use iopl(), that's why ioperm in
cygwin does this. Now, allowing >= 0x400 would be possible in cygwin's
ioperm, but then you'd get problems when using the code on Linux... The
truly proper way is really to use iopl().
