I applied these up to here but it was painful as patch 2 didn't apply
cleanly to -rc1 and git am couldn't find the blobs to use for
resolution.  Please check things worked out OK but I'm pretty sure they
did.

Also limited native endian register I/O.  It would have been much better
to fix this in the core - please consider producing followup patches to
push the code there, though it's far from essential.

Given that you constrain on registration too this should be BUG_ON(),
we're seriously confused if we're specifying a different register size
here and -EIO is going to be a bit obscure.
