This is what I did in former versions of the patch: the scheme you
propose requires more bits to encode the number of I/O lines for
instruction, address and data: there would be less bits available for
future extensions.

Also using the notion of protocol class (1-1-N, 1-N-N, N-N-N) in the
encoding scheme prevents from setting impossible combinations like
4-1-4, 1-2-4, ...
