Yep, I just tried it and that does seem to be the case.  I
can only get it to work on registers that are MMIO *only*.
The watch won't work on any of the lower registers
regardless of ST/LD or IN/OUT.

Kind of a bummer if you're trying to catch something that's
writing junk to lower memory (as was my case).

Oh well.
