It's a huge block of registers that we need to manually verify for
mistakes. It also does not bode well for the userspace design as probing
so many through a single ioctl is going to be ratelimiting, nor why do
they need to check a entire kilobyte register file. Hence why the
userspace portion is essential to justify this as being the preferred
design.
