Actually, if we already do cleanups, here are two more suggestions:

1. Make 64bit features a one big 64bit block, instead of having 32bits
in one place and 32 in another.
2. Remove the reserved fields out of the config (the ones that were
caused by moving the ISR and the notifications out).
Yes, those were exactly what I was thinking.  I left it vague because
there might be others you can see if we're prepared to abandon the
current format.

Cheers,
Rusty.
