Okay I'll relieve you from authorship on this one. Not sure who between 
Lionel and me with, but I'll think of something.

We can't use/validate it then. Alternative to just not clear it for ABI 
where it is not used? In other words would go away from the case 
branches completely. Does the ABI depend on it being zeroed on return 
from get_param? It would be strange..

combinations are not possible. I don't feel we should validate the SKU 
configuration detection here but trust it.
