Hi Hauke

This binding itself looks fine. I just find this address range a bit
odd. What are 0xe10b300-0xe10b307 used for? Are all 0x30 bytes used in
the range? The address range ending at 0xe10b338 seems a bit
odd. 0xe10b33f would be more typical.

I'm asking because it can be messy when you find out you need to
change the address range, and not break backwards compatibility.
