It appears I was mistaken w.r.t. the singleton comment. We can already
translate MMIO->MMIO addresses per-instance (in the presence of a ranges
property).

The big change would be to handle !MMIO translations, for which we'd
need a runtime registry of ISA bus instance to find the relevant
accessor ops and instance-specific data.

Thanks,
Mark.
