This define seems unused?

Actually, what use would it ever have?  Should not every
struct setup_data on the setup_data linked list have a
valid (not NONE) type?  And perhaps that switch statement
that confused me:

> +		default:

should not "break" silently on an unrecognized data->type, but
rather complain bitterly?
