Not trimming the tables is just to give us more time to think about
problems with the new world order that Igor and I are introducing.  I
don't want to rush it.

I'm okay with merging the patches together with the trimming, if the
experience during this time tells us that I was too optimistic.

They are the only part of the firmware that a) describes the machine and
b) runs inside the OS.  So they are at least special.
