I can't say much, but looking into memtest code I see they're used only
for beeping a PC speaker.
Comment in io.h include file of memtest says:
* This file contains the definitions for the x86 IO instructions
* inb/inw/inl/outb/outw/outl and the "string versions" of the same
* (insb/insw/insl/outsb/outsw/outsl). You can also use "pausing"
* versions of the single-IO instructions (inb_p/inw_p/..).
However memtest builds with assumption they're present in sys/io.h from
host and io.h included with memtest does not define inb_p/outb_p in any
way.
I probably will go with uClibc defines, or just nop memtest beeper.
