Do really need > both? I thought about that when writing this patch. I ultimately decided against it because changing the get_user accessor to be get_raz_reg() instead of get_raz_id_reg() would break the symmetry with set_user, which needs to stay set_raz_id_reg(), and cannot be substituted with set_wi_reg() because that would be a change in behaviour (set_raz_id_reg() checks that val == 0, set_wi_reg() doesn't). I do agree that get_raz_id_reg() does the exact same thing as get_raz_reg(), but in a more roundabout manner. So if you still feel that I should use get_raz_reg() instead, I'll do that for the next iteration of the series. What do you think?
