If you want to do it that way, the idea is to overwrite
the right CPU register in mmio-mod.c:post(). You would test for
the address you want to mess with, and then "invert"
get_ins_reg_val() to overwrite the register with your own value.

Are you sure that code is ever used on your arch?
For instance, it seems that arch/x86/include/asm/io.h
defines a different __raw_readw.


Cheers.
