It took me a bit to figure out what you mean here. To save others
from reading the source, here is what I found:

* The config space is accessed indirectly through registers from the
  "cra" register range, which is the right approach according to the
  point that Rob made.
* hardware-wise this basically looks like bit-banged PCIe, which is
  both awesome and scary ;-)
