i know that does not work!

when i started doing this, i got segfaults because of the >>2 .

readl and writel do long operations as evidenced by the 'l'

i know this seems weird, but this is memory-mapped, and appearantly it's 
memory mapped to long, anyway; when i do 'unsigned long* mmio' and i use 
readl and writel without any bitshifts, it works...

you may believe what you want, but i _know_ that on x86_64, i _NEED_ unsigned 
long* mmio and no bitshifting to get this to work.

maybe the problem lies with writel and readl to begin with, maybe if you wrote 
an int, it would work...
