Jeff,

What are your thoughts on adding some defines like:

LPA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED	/* device/driver has determined if it can  
implement this feature */
LPA_NOT_SUPPORTED	/* device/driver doesn't support this information */

By default we'd set the field to LPA_NOT_IMPLEMENTED and than let the  
driver's get_settings callback modify it as appropriate?
