Shouldn't we move this into register_ioport_{read,write}, and have that fail 
if the port has already been assigned?

It already checks and fails with hw_error().  Problem with that is that 
this kills qemu in case you try to pci hot-plug a vga card.  So I've 
added a way to check before-hand, so we can fail gracefully in the few 
places where we need it (see second patch of the series).

cheers,
   Gerd

If we needed in more than a few places, then a solution like the one we
adopted for qdev_init() could make sense: have register_ioport_FOO()
return an error, convert all users that don't want to check it to
register_ioport_FOO_nofail(), which hw_error()s out.
