I'm not following the discussion at all, but I accidentally read these
sentences and I had something to add.

--quirk-none was added on my instigation (maybe I added it myself now
I come to think of it) specifically to be able to distinguish ``I don't
know this machine'' from ``I DO know this machine, it needs no(ne)
quirks''. And --quirk-none would than be the latter. I needed this
distinction to be able to tell s3ram to not do any quirks, or to 
try to use the internal whitelist in the case it was unknown to hal.
