I was going to suggest that we should probably *count* the MISC
registers upfront so that we know exactly how many are we dealing with
instead of relying on macros but that would be overengineering it for no
good reason. And we're checking the valid bits and so on, so we're good.

So ok, I'm persuaded.

Thanks.
