Why this change ?  I mean, you'd now have to go over __every_ use of
that function in all projects and make sure it's not used in something
like :

if (!ms_cm2_a5n_support(cm2, n)) {
   error
}

Because an invalid n is now going to return something != 0 ...

Huh ... so the called has to know whether to give CM2 or CM3 ... you
might as well not have this method at all then and just require it to
call the right method.
