I should probally note that some of these settings will probably be
set with pin "strappings" (stuff that is clocked into the chip when
reset goes from active to inactive)

Meaning that you have to change hardware to set them.  In some cases
you can play with the settings after-the-fact but your changes may be
ignored.
