BenH's firescope tool does this already using raw1394

of adding another kernel driver for it though. This can be all
done fine in userspace.

The point is to provide an interface like /dev/mem in order to use a wider range of debug/ forensics/ hacker tools than specialized libraw1394 clients. Sure enough, the benefit is small, but so is this driver's code footprint.
