uio accepts 32 bit writes to the char device file. We can encode

Ugh.  Very unexpandable.
It currently fails on any non-4 byte write.
So if we need more bits in the future we can always teach it
about e.g. 8 byte writes.

Do you think it's worth it doing it now already, and using
8 byte writes for msi mapping?

Aren't ioctls a lot simpler?

Multiplexing multiple functions on write()s is just ioctls done uglier.
