OK, I guess I can add some of those back. The main reason I removed the
special-cases was to avoid consumer.h being chock full of a ton of
different macros you had to choose from. This wasn't so much of an issue
before, but since the number of macros has grown now to support pin
config, dummy states, etc., it seemed cluttered.

Still, I guess they're useful, so I can add them back since you asked.
