It's the modern linux/fdt way of letting drivers access MMIO spaces they don't own (in terms of those ranges being included in a reg property that would cause us to set up rman resources for the device). I'm not sure I would have made a new directory in dev/ for it though... it's such a trivial little thing I would think it belongs with the dev/extres stuff. -- Ian
