I think we should be able to get rid of the startup path. If we can do
it for memory, I see no reason not to do it for MMIO.

I will eventually, but while I really appreciate your contributions in
terms of features and bug fixes, I would really *love* it if you were
a bit more active on the list when it comes to reviewing other
people's code.
There is no shortage of patches that really need reviewing, and just
pointing me in the direction of your favourite series doesn't really
help. I have something like 200+ patches that need careful reviewing
in my inbox, and they all deserve the same level of attention.
To make it short, help me to help you!
Thanks,
M.
