This is making me think we should be smarter here and either only run
the diagnostics once during boot or provide a user control for the
diagnostics.  It seems like something that is more of a runtime software
decision than something that's fixed in hardware design, is there
anything about the hardware design that'd make it impossible to run
diagnostics?

This could just be exposed to userspace as a simple switch control
couldn't it?  I do note that it masks more bits than it sets though...
