hrm. I looked.

lirc-0.6.5/drivers/lirc_serial/lirc_serial.c, line 337-351 (for example):

static inline unsigned int sinp(int offset)
{
        return inb(io + offset);
}

static inline void soutp(int offset, int value)
{
        outb(value, io + offset);
}

void on(void)
{
        soutp(UART_MCR,hardware[type].on);
}

Nope, not much has changed. I used to write MS-DOS programs like this.
Then I learned better.

Yeah, eventually. Heck, I might even write a driver of sorts, if I get the
time -- but I'm working on jumping jobs right now and my time it at a
premium.
