My problem with that is that it doesn't make much sense from an
architecture perspective. It doesn't define any of these, because
these names make no sense.

Maybe I should just drop the PMD prefix and write it as S1_TABLE_AP,
so that it can be reused if we ever need the P*D names.

Yup, I'll move them up.

Thanks,
