I'd really prefer not increasing the size of the internal arrays any
more. The structures should be rewritten to be dynamic.

NAK. This is part of the ABI, and changing this will break user space.
If you actually bothered to read code, you might understand why there
are now internal and external versions of this struct. The external
(user space) version cannot be changed. The internal version can be
refactored, as long as the external version still maintains some sanity,
at least for old/small devices.
