If possible I'm voting for enforcing modifier[n] == modifier[0], no
exception for 0 modifier.

Imo modifier[1-3] are dead weight, any attempt at recovering them will
lead to trouble and confusion. We can fix this with addfb3 ;-)

Bytes aren't that expensive that we need to recover 24 of them in a
temporary ioctl call.
