Thanks for pointing this out, I thought these helpers were not defined,
so I import this file from Linux. So on my platform, the arm64 io helpers
are used, the functions in this file are not used because there is
"#ifndef xx".

But anyway, for non-ARM/ARM64 platforms, this file is still useful.

I could drop this if you prefer. Or keep this for other ARCH. 

Thanks
