Right. However
1. The cost is quite modest here. E.g. we have two feature selectors which
just wastes bits.
How bad would be to just use feature bits for now, and
later/separately add an interface that reduces amount of writeable mmio,
if deemed appropriate?
2. Driver features are writeable but device features are not -
so why not have device features in memory?
