The only question that springs to mind is...

... why isn't this at the device level? It doesn't make much sense to
have it at the register level (we never access a register in isolation,
we always access it relatively to a device).

And given that the *only* time you actually evaluate this flag is in
dispatch_mmio_read/write, there is zero benefit in duplicating it all
over the place.

Smaller structures, smaller patch. Am I missing something?
