I'm not wondering, IMO the current code's broken  ;-)

Having the kernel access an I/O port should not imply the
user task can do so as well.  Even more true of interrupt
handlers, which have no relation to the currently running
task.

PS.  I/O ports and SMP is a whole other topic.  I/O port
X on processor A is a different port than X on processor B;
they may or may not be connected symmetrically, depending
on system design.  There may or may not be such a thing
as migration, depending on the I/O port.  So, don't worry
about SMP + I/O ports, best to see how actual usage drives it.
