(But perhaps that's not worth the effort.)
It's perfectly fine to disable libx86emu on ARM as it has already been correctly stated, there are no I/O ports on ARM so the above code won't work on ARM. I also don't expect that to change in the future, so it's not worth bothering about this in the future, especially since the upstream project hasn't been very active lately [1]. Adrian -- .''`.
