No, I really don't see any value at all in it.  The machine drivers
aren't actually sharing anything visible and the effect of what you're
doing is to make the selection of machine a compile time one instead of
a runtime one.

But what are you actually tying to do with this?  It sounds rather like
you're selecting between DSP A and B modes...
