OK.  The surprising thing to me was that we added this to the DDI long
ago -- making it theoretically available for others to use -- but if
they ever tried using it, it wouldn't have worked as expected, at
least according to this project.

I had though that meant I was likely missing something (such as a
subsequent change to device enumeration that broke the DDI).  But if
that's not the case, then "ok."
