i don't think so.  if the hardware is really that way, then a single struct 
that represents it makes sense to me.

this isn't really a standard.  for single sentences/fragments, they often get 
dropped.  left up to the relevant writer what they want to do.

the sizeof() magic requires it be a macro.  and the __v indirection is 
required (there should be a __p too, but that'd be a little more work, and is 
less likely to have side effects).
