Or to put it a different way... "I can't represent my hardware so I'm
going to hack around with the kernel in a way that lies to the kernel
about what the hardware is doing but it'll work for me!"

Sorry, but no, this isn't some hacky github project, this is the kernel
where we engineer proper solutions.

I think I've just lost all interest in this...
