Yep, that's what my example above shows. Not my favorite.

This sounds reasonable. So long as it doesn't muddy up felix / seville
too much - I'll take a look. It seems like it would just be moving
a lot of the "resource configuration" code from felix_init_structs() into
the felix->info->init_regmap(), or similar.
