A lot of userspace tools use these tables and I'd like to keep the
headers compatible. Also, as I mentioned in the other thread, the
atombios command tables often parse these tables when initializing the
hardware so when you are debugging a command table, it helps to have
the relevant structures defined so it's easier to understand what the
command tables are doing.
