This is going to be a bit of a pain, and a lot of duplication.  My expectation 
is that most devices don't know/care about 64-bit accesses and want them to 
be automatically split into a pair of 32-bit accesses. I suggest pushing this 
down into the lower level dispatch routines. By my reading your mem_writeq 
helpers are broken if we happen to have multiple regions with the same opaque 
value (this effects at least lsi53c895a.c).

In the interests of avoiding duplication, I'd also implement 
cpu_register_io_memory in terms of cpu_register_io_memory64.

Eww. It would be a good idea to fix this at the same time.
