I would suggest using ->read_reg() ->write_reg() methods for abstracting
this.  That's how we handle all of the different way ESP scsi chips
have their registers wired up.

I/O register reads take hundreds, if not thousands of CPU cycles so,
relatively speaking, the indirection costs absolutely nothing.
