I don't have any objections to migrating to ioread/iowrite (although it 
won't be possible in the ni_mio_common for example, due to needing to 
support isa), but my immediate plan is to just do the minimal change 
required, changing some base address variables to void* and doing a few 
casts where needed.  Here is a summary of the kernel changes with a bit of 
the rational if anyone is interested:
