In all cases these are opcode values and will never be an expression.  If
we really need to future proof these definitions, we should do it for all
objects not just DPIO.  I'd like to see consistency across objects and don't
want to see DPIO gratuitously diverge.  So, my suggestion is to have an
offline discussion and if we think the change is needed, submit a patch for
all objects currently supported.

The 'send' comment certainly isn't needed given that the function
is 'mc_send_command()'.  For the others, I think having some comment
is helpful, even though a bit repetitive.
