[Test Case] Boot Ubuntu 17.04 on a Marvell MacchiatoBin board in UEFI/ACPI mode, check for crash. [Regression Risk] Fix looks straightforward to me - it avoids probing a PIO-only driver if the port is non-PIO, thus avoiding a crash on platforms where native PIO is unsupported. The fix is upstream and CC'd for stable, so there should be upstream support for any regressions it were to cause.
