That makes sense, I will do - I was wondering though whether this
is a quirk or a binding that describes the architecture because
the architecture can't provide that information.

That's the reason why I have not implemented it as a quirk but
obviously that's exactly the feedback I need.

Yes I had the same feeling while writing the code but the patch
below (if we treat this as quirk) is already much cleaner.

The patch below makes sense and it is much cleaner - provided we
consider this a quirk, which I am not sure it is, that's the only
question I have.

Come on, the whole architecture is a bag of sick hacks. And given that
it makes the change slightly less ugly, I'd rather have that.
