I don't think this belongs upstream as is - because this is a "proposed"
- it might change and then we have Linux boxes in the field randomly
misinterpreting bits if instead other bits are used or the definition
changes.

Until it's officially in the spec there ought IMHO to be a boot option to
enable the test.
