Impossible, as far as I can tell.

At least for one of them, they do the trick by abusing the address line 
which is normally used to select the interupt configuration register and the 
2nd status register to select the 2nd "bus" instead.

This only works of your driver NEVER uses either, which is not the case for
the NetBSD drivers. 

If somebody knows otherwise, please tell us.
