It's not too bad all together, though always nice to split into separate
patches.  There's some whitespace and renumbering noise which would be
nice as a separate patch...

But I'm a bit surprised that you didn't add a legacy section?
Pretending MMIO v1 doesn't exist at all is going a bit far :)

Rusty.
