Is the following patch (more) acceptable:

Or perhaps the other way around?
i.e. feat_c3stop initialized to 0 (thus in the bss section)
and set to FEAT_C3STOP if "twd_never_stops" doesn't exist...

Russell, when you added the FEAT_C3STOP flag unconditionally in
commit 5388a6b266, didn't that potentially break platforms that
didn't expect the flag to be set?

Regards.
