OK, will try to find a wording that is not completely confusing.

The idea behind this is that dist_base refers to similar, but not
identical distributors (v2 vs. v3), so I found it a good idea to
initialize it in here. Also vctrl_base is host facing and not set by
userland, so this doesn't really compare here.

Cheers,
