PortInOut

Use the PortInOut interface to read and write an underlying GPIO port as one value. This is much faster than BusInOut because you can write a port all at once, but it is much less flexible because you are constrained by the port and bit layout of the underlying GPIO ports.

A mask can be supplied so you only use certain parts of a port, allowing other bits to be used for other interfaces.
