Jon does your emulator sit on top of the new legacy I/O and memory APIs? I
added them for this very reason, though atm only ia64 supports them. There's
documentation in Documentation/filesystems/sysfs-pci.txt if you want to take
a look. On kernels that support it, sysfs can be a one stop shop for all
your gfx programming needs, since it provides access to the rom, PCI
resources (i.e. MMIO ranges, fb memory, etc.) and legacy I/O ports and
memory.
