This is a quick hack, too trivial to deserve a package. A more useful tool would be one that allows you to define named registers and fields in the various spaces they may exist (memory, I/O, PCI config space, indirect...). I've written and used something like that in my day job - though it wasn't general enough to attempt to release.
