./i386/i386at/kd.c: io_port_create(device, kd_port_list);
./i386/i386at/iopl.c: io_port_create(iopl_device, iopl_port_list);

The problem is that when opening a device (device_open), the port that
is returned to the user is &device->dev: see
device/ds_routines.c:device_open():
#ifdef i386
*device_p = &device->dev;
#else
*device_p = device;
#endif
And hence this is the port that the user gives to i386_io_port_add() ;
while io_port_create() always gets "device" for now, not "&device->dev",
so that the lookup fails.
