That wouldn't be the first time we go down that path and it makes sense
imho.

They are part of the PAPR specification which we've been trying to get
published for a while now but that hasn't happened yet. Beware that
there are variants of the format based on some other property. There's
also 
"ibm,associativity-reference-points" which is used to calculate
distances. I'll see if I can get you an excerpt of the PAPR chapter, or
reword it, in the next few days (please poke me if I drop the ball next
week).

Cheers,
Ben.
