Sorry, but this is a nightmare waiting to happen.  Please define
proper accessors instead.

We have proper accessors: in_be32, out_be16, etc.

Now, is the huge struct encompassing all of immr space a bad idea? Sure. Are we working towards getting rid of it? Yes. Is that a reason to keep modules from working in the meantime? No.

(And get rid of the typedef while you're at it)

Again, changing all the users is a bit beyond the scope of this patch.
