It's a tradeoff. We are trading a useless feature (which you describe
above) for a functional system that doesn't require to have an entry for
every possible chip revision ever designed and to be designed in the
future for things to work.

I know the qemu folks is generally uninterested in making things
actually work but heh .. :-)

Ben.
