I guess. Except the spec marks those as 31:24 and belonging to the dword
starting at offset 4 and you've made "build" a separate u8 and the dword
starts at offset 3. I mean, not a big deal, I think you can change the
spec for a change :-)

Because it looks like the 4 bytes starting at offset 3 really are meant
for miscellaneous bits. And then CONFIG.ES could've been bit 1 of the
byte at offset 3. Oh well...

But yeah, in the end of the day it probably doesn't matter a whole lot.
The spec just counts those in 32-bit quantities.
