Yes, maybe. But to write such a file system, one would need low level
functions to access the ROM (it is banked, correct?). And, since a file system
is quite some work, just having the low level functions would be something to
start with.

As far as I can say, writes to absolute addresses are usually done low/high.
But I cannot say if this is always the case (the optimizer may change the
order, indirect accesses may behave differently, ...), and I don't think it's
a good idea to guarantee this. So either we cannot have memory mapped structs,
or these structs cannot have word sized fields for registers where access
order matters.
