Rozycki commit 193ced4a79599352d63cb8c9e2f0c6043106eb6a upstream. Recent versions of the PCI Express specification have deprecated support for I/O transactions and actually some PCIe host bridges, such as Power Systems Host Bridge 4 (PHB4), do not implement them. The default kernel configuration choice for the defxx driver is the use of I/O ports rather than MMIO for PCI and EISA systems. It may have made sense as a conservative backwards compatible choice back when MMIO operation support was added to the driver as a part of TURBOchannel bus support. However nowadays this configuration choice makes the driver unusable with systems that do not implement I/O transactions for PCIe. Make DEFXX_MMIO the configuration default then, except where configured for EISA. This exception is because an EISA adapter can have its MMIO decoding disabled with ECU (EISA Configuration Utility) and therefore not available with the resource allocation infrastructure we implement, while port I/O is always readily available as it uses slot-specific addressing, directly mapped to the slot an option card has been placed in and handled with our EISA bus support core. Conversely a kernel that supports modern systems which may not have I/O transactions implemented for PCIe will usually not be expected to handle legacy EISA systems. The change of the default will make it easier for people, including but not limited to distribution packagers, to make a working choice for the driver. Update the option description accordingly and while at it replace the potentially ambiguous PIO acronym with IOP for "port I/O" vs "I/O ports" according to our nomenclature used elsewhere.
