wow. Would be nice to have feedback from fsl. I was fearing of bad
effects but I didn't think they could actually break something so
badly. After all, the manual doesn't warn about possible side effects of
the SION bit iirc. This would mean this will have to be dealt on a board
basis. It would be... erm... not really "efficient".
