Wasn't this the clean and recommended interface anyway?
(ref. IO-mapping.txt:150)

I hope this will be kept, because virtually all devices map[1] their
registers continously starting at a base address. It's easy to
access for the driver writer and easy to decode for the device.

[1] If they don't map it in IO space, which I know is differently
accessed on some architectures.
