.IP "slot" 12
 slot number to read from
.IP "reg" 12
  register to read from

Fetch a POS value directly from the hardware to obtain the
current value. This is much slower than mca_read_stored_pos and
may not be invoked from interrupt context. It handles the
deep magic required for onboard devices transparently.
