No, the typedef is included in a #ifdef __KERNEL__ ... #endif section.
I'm trying to set it but it doesn't work (and it's certainly not the correct 
solution)
I must search more but apparently on sparc64 the userland is 32bits (only 
kernel is 64).
But i get the same errors with gcc-sparc and gcc-sparc64.
And apparently it's <linux/types> the correct/good include.

I will search more about /dev/port . i grep the source and i found juste 2 
iopl. Perhaps easy to port.

Yes.
