We have something like that for USB (http://sourceforge.net/projects/usbsnoop/) and it works pretty well.
Alternatively, are there tools (even for pay) that can monitor certain addresses/IO ports under Windows? My needs are not so extravagant (I just want to be able turn on dual head mirror on my i830 based laptop, without rebooting), and that would likely be enough to get the missing info.
