Did you have specific bits in mind?  I'm fairly sure they are all assigned
to something now.  The adjacent bits are used for the subtype/variant and
options.  Most of the options are used, maybe not all.

I haven't checked whether the "instance" field is still used, though.  It
was for MII PHY numbers, I believe.

If we had more bits, it seems better to put them directly into the subtype
field rather than the type field.
