You know well what I meant.

What you said left an impression memory mapped I/O is somehow unusual or special, while it's actually a fairly common type of I/O.
So while I did know what you meant, I found your comment misleading to someone who isn't familiar with the subject.
Too many programmers misunderstand and are scared of memory mapping as it is.
Memory mapped I/O is very much normal I/O. Normal, as in "common" or "usual".
