Multiple abstractions of a register?

Multiple abstractions of a register?

[CONTR47]

Some inexpensive I/O devices use a totally different bit
definition of a register depending on whether you are
reading or writing the register. Therefore I would like to
have two abstractions of the register address, one for
reading and one for writing. e.g.:
--
type status_type is (ok, error);
  for status_type use (ok=>1, error=>2);
type command_type is (start, stop);
  for command_type use (start=> 1, stop => 2);
status : status_type;
command: command_type;
for status use at 16#3_FFF#;
for command use at 16#3_FFF#;
--
LRM 13.5 (8) seems to say this is illegal -
"Address clauses should not be used to achieve overlays of objects --"
   Does the LRM citation apply to my situation? Comments
and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
