Agreed. I'm not sure if kpss-gcc will use syscon. With the floating
patches I don't see a reason why we need to use it.

Good to hear we're not forced to use a new property. The indices have
always been 2, 1, and 0 as far as I know.

We use bit 1 to ack the RPM if it ever crashes. We know that it crashes
because we receive the error interrupt. Instead of calling panic like we
do downstream we can gracefully fail any new rpm requests. There really
isn't any way to recover from this scenario though besides rebooting.
Looking at the code I see this is all wrong and we use bit 2 to ack the
error.
