Let me open this a little bit. Everytime we want to do some small change to
control area (lets say TCG adds some flag) we would have to cycle them
through you.

And the changes are not coupled with ACPI in any possible way. This is
only adds more maintenance burden to you and also to us. This structure
is the main control structure for the CRB driver and will be refined
many times in the future. There is no any kind of use to its fields
outside of the CRB driver.
