I'm not sure this request makes a lot of sense, as Bakunin pointed out, very politely.
With your apparent current level of understanding, please be very careful creating accounts or you can cause a lot of problems on your systems.

IOPL(2) Linux Programmer's Manual IOPL(2)
NAME
iopl - change I/O privilege level
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/io.h>
int iopl(int level);
DESCRIPTION
iopl changes the I/O privilege level of the current process, as specified in level.
This call is necessary to allow 8514-compatible X servers to run under Linux. Since these X servers require access to all 65536 I/O ports,
the ioperm call is not sufficient.
In addition to granting unrestricted I/O port access, running at a higher I/O privilege level also allows the process to disable inter-
rupts. This will probably crash the system, and is not recommended.
Permissions are inherited by fork and exec.
The I/O privilege level for a normal process is 0.
RETURN VALUE
On success, zero is returned. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
EINVAL level is greater than 3.
EPERM The current user is not the super-user.
CONFORMING TO
iopl is Linux specific and should not be used in processes intended to be portable.
NOTES
Libc5 treats it as a system call and has a prototype in <unistd.h>. Glibc1 does not have a prototype. Glibc2 has a prototype both in
<sys/io.h> and in <sys/perm.h>. Avoid the latter, it is available on i386 only.
