FYI:  bochs->mmio actually can be NULL when running on very old qemu
versions, the mmio bar was added in qemu release 1.3.  All the register
access functions in bochs_hw.c have a fallback going to ioports because
of that.  So there is a reason for the check, even though it is highly
unlikely that mmio actually is NULL these days.  qemu 1.3 was released
in 2013 ...

cheers,
