 hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
 instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
 inline.

 We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
 where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
 as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
