I realize you would prefer that, but I would really like fam15h to do
the right thing and maybe see if its possible to rework the fam10h code
to approach that, instead of the other way around.

Fam10h really is somewhat ugly, it would be ashame to carry that ugly
into fam15h which actually did the right thing here.
