The _SFR_IO8() converts the I/O address to the memory address. It is a macro that returns a byte of data at an address of io_addr + __SFR_OFFSET.
The _SFR_IO8() is defined in hardware/tools/avr/avr/include/avr/sfr_defs.h as below.
#define _SFR_IO8(io_addr) _MMIO_BYTE((io_addr) + __SFR_OFFSET) #define __SFR_OFFSET 0x20
Adding __SFR_OFFSET to io_addr, then calls _MMIO_BYTE().
