I posted some patches on the 386bsd_patchkit list to prohibit io access.
Because of a noninitialised filed in the tss, this was possible.
It is included below as the patch to machdep.c
However, when you do this *necessary* fix (security), it will be
impossible form within user space to do io.

therefor, I included another fix: when you open /dev/io, you
get the access. Of course you can rewrite it to use another minor
and thus giving access to the iospace when /dev/mem is opened, e.g.

NOTE: The /dev/io entry has not been added to /dev/MAKEDEV yet.
The patch is in NetBSD.
