currently, I have patches to make the only know programs that use them
able to handle it (as long as the values aren't used by something else)

there are only 3 values; 576000, 1152000, and 4000000 (MIR/2, MIR, FIR
as they are called by the standards)

so, NOT including them in the kernel won't break these programs, but
could cause a conflict with other possible values.

I would like to NOT split them, if it does happen however.

IE, don't put a 976xxx value between the 576000 and 1152000 value.
(makes my code messier; not impossible to handle, just messier)
