That will be very difficult to do then.... The work I did for accessing
PCI config registers had to be merged into the tree... Maybe introducing
a method for adding a MD callback to the trap handler for other modules
that need this? Short of modifing the function in real time to point
to your code, I don't have any suggestions...
