Totally agreed...

However, this can be something that might take time
to support in CCF (I definetly have plans to send a RFC to, at least,
start the discussion around this) so I guess we can already support
this device like this. I believe this is somethig straight to remove
as soon as CCF works in 32bit archs for high speed devices...
