Yes.

I did notice those.  However they are a bit more fun since they have
some non-volatile fields in them which are also used for control.  I
*suspect* that a lot of the time it'll be possible to get away with just
caching the first read but it needs further study - often with these
things the basic offset is constant in a given system so the sign may
well be right all the time.  That's just a guess, though, and may not
actually hold at which point a bit more attention might be needed.

Indeed, in fact it was while doing an audit of drivers to kill off
direct users of hw_read() that I noticed what was happening here.
