If the registers are in config space, you can use setpci, even if they
are non-architected registers specific to the device.

If they are in MMIO space, you can use lspci to learn where the BARs
are mapped, and then use something like rdwrmem
(http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/rdwrmem.c) to access the
registers.

If they are in I/O port space, you can again use lspci to learn where
they are mapped, and then use ioperm()/iopl()/inb()/outb()/etc.
