Just a few short comments. The VAX internal registers are not memory
mapped, ever. That would be against the architecture specification.

Well, the thought isn't that strange. Iirc, the PDP-11 has its CPU
registers mapped (somewhere in high memory?) and the PDP-10 too (at
address 0, iirc).

For the PDP-11, it depends on the model, and also, for the ones that do have the CPU registers in memory, they are really weird and different to anything else.
