Yes, therefore I thought that: or the EM_OPS are per driver, or they can 
be integrated in the switch hooks list.

Maybe have a generic rio function that can be called by any driver that 
knows a particular port-write was due to error management causes? This 
function would read the standard defined EF block registers. Then the 
driver part can be quite small.

Oops, I meant this comment for the em_init function call.

Why?

They might initialize them with NULL to indicate they don't support it?
