This is a well-structured 10-patch series that migrates nova-core from its =
local `register!` macro to the kernel-wide `io::register!` macro. The conve=
rsion is methodical =E2=80=94 one register group per patch =E2=80=94 follow=
ed by cleanup (removing old macro, dropping `io::` qualifier, removing docs=
 todo). The series is at v3 and already carries Reviewed-by tags from Eliot=
 Courtney, Gary Guo, and Joel Fernandes on most patches.

The mechanical conversion looks correct overall. The new API style (`bar.re=
ad(REG)` / `bar.write(WithBase::of::<E>(), REG::zeroed().with_field(val))`)=
 is more idiomatic and the `bounded_enum` macro is a nice improvement over =
the ad-hoc `impl_from_enum_to_u8!` + manual `TryFrom` implementations.

**Key observations:**

1. Patch 1 uses `self.inner` directly to access the raw register value in a=
 `Display` impl, while the rest of the code uses `into_raw()`. This is inco=
nsistent.
2. The `bounded_enum` macro's `From` variant uses `MAX.. =3D> unreachable!(=
)` per Gary Guo's suggestion from v3 =E2=80=94 this is a good pattern for c=
ompile-time exhaustiveness checking.
3. The series cleanly removes 739 lines of macro infrastructure and 76 line=
s of TODO documentation, while the new code is more concise.

No major correctness issues found. A few minor observations below.
