Yes, this looks like a simpler approach. Sure realloc() has some cost,
but that's not much compared to the RPCs etc. and we do that at
initialization only.

That makes me realize: we need to closedir(dir).

We also need to call x86_disable_io();

Also, don't wee need to keep a way to fallback to the x86 access method?
Otherwise how does the pciarbiter manage to trigger calling the x86
access method?
