So there's apparently no way to specify that
you want 1,2, or 4 byte writes at address X?

Why would you want that?

Donnu. Why would anyone want to catch 8 byte writes at all?

One of the natural write sizes.

Seriously, why add artificial limitations?
IMO, addr=0,len=1 and addr=0,len=2 should not conflict.


They should not conflict, but a two byte write need not hit a one byte registration.
