So that I can write i/o functions like this:

  switch (addr) {
  case 0: ...
  case 64: ...
  case 128: ...
  ...
  default:
    unassigned_mem_readl(...)
  }

Perhaps Avi's rewrite makes this unnecessary; I browsed through
his patch set but didn't immediately see if there's a way for
the i/o function to return "failure".

What I certainly don't want to do is write this with 100 tiny
functions registering 8 bytes each, registered some tiny 
distance away from each other.
