Ohh, yes, I like that, much better idea. I'm guessing a little bit
how one might do that; I'm thinking a new 'copy_to_io' type function
with the isa_port<0x10000 check in the ex_table code? I'm somewhat
confused, since bad_page_fault usually runs at the end, not at the start
of the exception handling.
