I was under the impression that the auth mechanism setting would still
do that. What is "mixed cell configuration" anyway?

Oh, I can see that, but none of these things are documented nor do any
existing tools use them. I don't contend the fact that these may indeed
be useful, but I think none of them should be private ioctls. If you
have a use case for all of these I'd be happy to see an explanation so
we can add this with proper documentation elsewhere. Without
documentation, they are a rather useless special configurations nobody
will ever touch.
