phys-secure and hyp-phys is not very consistent. secure-phys or sec-phys 
instead?

This allows any order which is not ideal (unfortunately json-schema 
doesn't have a way to define order with optional entries in the middle). 
How many possible combinations are there which make sense? If that's a 
reasonable number, I'd rather see them listed out.
