To avoid confusion we should not call them virtual controls, but controls 
with custom put/get handlers.

There are essentially two options.

a) Have custom put/get handlers for different types of verbs. This means 
you'll re-implement things like caching.

b) Have a mapping that maps the hierarchical HDA register addressing 
structure onto a linear address map and use regmap.
