Why would this be a configuration option?  Shouldn't this be dynamic and
just work properly automatically?

You should not have to do this on a build-time basis, it should be able
to be detected and handled properly at run-time for all devices.

If you know this is needed for a specific type of device, detect it and
make the change then, otherwise this could break working systems, right?
