IDK Vikash, the logic here seems suspect.

We have two loops that check for up to 32 indexes per loop. Why not have 
a capabilities index that can accommodate all 64 bits ?

Why is it valid to have 16 encoder bits and 16 decoder bits but invalid 
to have 16 encoder bits with 17 decoder bits ? While at the same time 
valid to have 0 encoder bits but 17 decoder bits ?
