I make this suggestion that I get realized after this thread from gentoo
hardened:

I think if it could be, specify under SCD_IOPORTS  which port is permited
to do iopl/ioperm request, something like AUTH makes with UIDs, since some
software would require to only do privilege I/O port against one particular
port and no to everyone. It's another less privilege approach that would be
useful for example with propietary nvidia drivers that still using priv I/O
ports to do his tasks.
