I do (unless you convince me otherwise).  Why is this a good idea and
why 'exposing' this directly is a bad one?  At the moment this looks
to me like abstraction for the sake of abstraction.

There is a difference.  In the current implementation you're doing math
with a possible error code and assigning rubbish to rpm->ctrl_regs and
rpm->req_regs.

It's also helpful.  Can you place an Author: line in the header(s) too.
