On the i386, this is true, but (as has been said before, but I guess not
as clearly) there are architectures out there that don't have an
Intel-style I/O vs. memory addressing distinction (the 680x0s are like
this, and I think the SPARC and PowerPC are also; not sure about Alpha),
so they map all the device registers into physical memory space.
