 It is permissible to list a PCD in a common architecture section and also list

 The PCD values must match the datum type declared for a given PCD in the DEC

 PCDs with a data type of `VOID`* can optionally provide the maximum size of the

 the size of the data in the DEC file that declares the PCD.
