The name has changed a few times already (extio->libio->logic pio),
and I'm not confident the last one will stick either. The current name
was not one of the ones upstream suggested, and it hasn't been ACK'd
yet. My preference would therefore be to merge as-is, unless you feel
strongly otherwise.

Thanks!
