I'm wondering what I meant by this... where does it cause use ABI issues?
Do you have any idea?

I'd forgotten I'd even done it like this rather than just insisting on 
available for everything (which is more logical to me as we should know
the range of everything).

It's pretty low cost though and gives a way of adding this to drivers
piecemeal which is probably a good idea!

More importantly shepherding it through review!

Naturally it's perfect code so not comments inline ;)

Thanks again for picking this up!

So... I want to see lots of comments on this. If people are happy with
it (unlikely ;) then please say so.  It's at least a bit controversial
and adds a 'lot' of new ABI.
