What's the purpose of including auto-host in params-list and params-options? It seems like you're putting a property of the target (guard size) into the wrong place (auto-host.h). It's also a bit unclear to me why this is necessary at all. Are we planning to support both the 4k and 64k guards? My goal (once the guard was configurable) was never for supporting multiple sizes on a target but instead to allow experimentation to find the right default. Jeff
