Not quite.
This macro takes indifferently a sys_reg_desc or a sys_reg_params,
making it impossible to turn into a function. Is it disgusting and
makes you want to pull your eyes out? Yes.
The whole params/desc duality dates back to the early 32bit code,
and I blame Rusty Russell for it. Just saying... ;-)
That's one of things I always wanted to refactor...
Thanks,
M.
