I'm wondering if we should add a 'get' routine for each flag value as
to not expose the binary representation of the flags in case they ever
change. The hope is that if some other platform added their own
ARS-like facility that we would be able to reuse these routines and
translate between ACPI and a theoretical Open Firmware implementation,
for example.
