Really?  I don't see that, all I get are some NICs and the DPT driver.  
I tried this command:

find src/sys/dev/ -name '*.[ch]' -print | xargs grep bus_space_read

I suspect that doing PIO for larger transfers would want that, but that 
most modern IDE controllers on non-PC systems would use DMA, and thus 
not need these routines.
