Separate patch and needs to go to DT list...

Though I'm not sure this should be in DT. You have to change your
firmware to enable a new kernel feature? We also already have 'export'
which sounds like the same function. Or 'pool' though reading the
description, I don't really understand it's use.

What combination of all 3 of these options would be valid?
