so, if i understand this correctly, since all offsets actually in use
are 1024B multiples the following would be sufficient, or more elegant..?

or should 
#define	 SPORTSTER_ISAC		0xC000
#define	 SPORTSTER_HSCXA	0x0000
#define	 SPORTSTER_HSCXB	0x4000
#define	 SPORTSTER_RES_IRQ	0x8000
still get requested explicitly in such cases?
