No big deal, you can keep the table as long as I don't get Torvalds backfire
on me for introducing too many lines of code. I'm a bit sensitive about that
but it's not like it's super-important.

I've come to accept the fact that pin controller have many lines of code,
since they bascially contain the tables that other platforms put in BIOS
firmware, and these systems typically don't have BIOS:es so...
