There is code that builds with calls to IO accessors even when CONFIG_PCI=n, but the actual calls are guarded by runtime checks. If not those calls would be faulting, because the page at virtual address zero is (usually) not mapped into the kernel. As Arnd pointed out, it is possible a large port value could cause the address to be above mmap_min_addr which would then access userspace, which would be a bug. To avoid any such issues, set _IO_BASE to POISON_POINTER_DELTA. That is a value chosen to point into unmapped space between the kernel and userspace, so any access will always fault. Note that on 32-bit POISON_POINTER_DELTA is 0, so the patch only has an effect on 64-bit.
