(Replying from my work email as that's where it's been sent. Can't do anything but top-post, which is why I use my armlinux.org.uk email for kernel stuff - thanks Outlook web.)

I've found the table particularly useful when wanting to know the virtual address space layout, so it does seem to have some value.

but I still wonder whether we should remove this table altogether.
