We are kind of abusing the conf struct.  Originally it contained the
stuff that was coming from the INI file, now we're putting everything
there.  It's okay for now, but just a reminder that we need to clean all
this up at some point (soon!).

Don't you want to change this file so that we can dynamically change from auto-PS to forced-PS?

This is hardcoded and would require the driver to be recompiled in order
to enable this feature.  Is that even allowed during certification (ie.
use two different binaries for different testcases)?
