There is little need for it, because it is normal for pci 16550 cards to
have i/o-mapped memory (possibly both memory-mapped and i/o mapped).

I have uncommitted changed to use memory-mapped i/o for accessing the data
registers only, since memory mapped i/o tends to be faster.  Implementing
memory-mapped i/o more generally is easier.
