Sounds good, although we're trying hard not to add new quirk bits.
I don't see a way around doing that here, though.

We've got plenty of time until the .38 release -- let's turn it on by
default and test during .38-rc, and we can revisit whether to leave it
on closer to the release. It's not as simple as "turning it on could
cause problems so let's not do that", because we're *already* seeing
problems from things like enabling 8-bit width on setups that don't
support it.

Thanks!
