Ok, sorry for the delayed response. First off, I assume this is requested for
Lucid, right?
Also such changes should rather go upstream, to be discussed there and then
could be accepted back. And for that it seems like we want code like that only
applied / executed on specific hardware. Which means it would need some sort of
quirk table code to only be used on that hardware.
