Porting code to gcc, replacement for SFR?

If I understand "The Explicit reg vars" correctly, this allows you to access
the internal registers which are addressed by name in assembler, eg. r1. If
I understand this correctly, it doesn't allow you to specify a memory mapped
register. Is this correct? If this allows you to specify a memory mapped
register, how do I implement it?
Cheers,
