Oh, that's unfortunate. IIRC we use some other SWF register to check if
something already initialized things in the cdclk sanitation path.
Not sure if the same could be used here.

OK, so binary fixed point. Maybe I should file a bug against bspec to
remove this confusing "decimal" naming scheme from the cdclk stuff...
