xfree86/linux: Enable all I/O ports

When switching vt to an X server using the vesa driver,
the driver needs access to a high io port, which segfaults
if only the first 1024 io ports are enabled.

Fix mach64 driver crash
Due to lack of iopl(3), mach64 driver crashes when ior(BUS_CNTL) is
called. Since BUS_CNTL is out of the range 0x0000-0x03ff, ioperm(0,
1024, 1) is not sufficient and the ior() causes access violation.
This patch reintroduce iopl(3) call in the function hwEnableIO().
