All of these have value ranges where the type is irrelevant, but I'm
happy to change it to whatever types you prefer.

OK. (for this and other instances)

I don't want to do that, because the new version of the hardware
that's going to support DMA can only do unidirectional DMA, and thus
we need to be able to see if either tx or rx is null.
