Would anyone see any advantages in having a callback of some sort there ?

I had a look at that one, but (not that I know much about the mips 
interface there, but it seems to me that the way
the SA11x0 MCP interface works is quite different from how the hpcmips 
does things.
It might require some serious restructuring to separate the UCB 
interface from the processor bus interface.
It did not ocur to me that it's simpler to use the hpcmips one at that time.

How much violation of the bsd-structure would it be to have two modules 
doing the same ic ?
