We seem to slowly grow more uses of registers > 256, but yes it's still mostly 
non critical stuff.

At least for the AMD GART IOMMU I would prefer if that was not done.
It has a pci config space access in a time critical path (flush).
And Family10h supports accessing the northbridge using mmconfig.

I believe the tigon3 driver also does config space access frequently
on some chips.

Also there are still the old x86 Macs where conf1 doesn't work.
