I don't understand this part - I'm not asking to ditch the #define.
As to the BUILD_BUG_ON() - I see now, but that's only in patch
10, and in a specific message handler. I think this would belong
here, and in the main viridian.c file.

Well, okay then - I was sort of expecting this to be spelled out
there in such a way. That doesn't change my overall opinion,
but I can see your point of wanting to match the spec, and you
being the maintainer I have no basis to insist anyway.
