Ah, good point, the separate write is superfluous.  Removed.

Harald's initial patch included a mechanism for remapping register writes
on the fly depending on which engine was in use; these defines were used
for that purpose.  Your reworking of the 2D code obliterated that patch,
and made it mostly unnecessary.  I kept the defines around, though, because
I thought that documenting the registers can only be a good thing.
