I had expected you to use 'common' instead of '32' and '64' here. Since you
did not combine the n32/n64 tables, this makes no practical difference,
but it still makes the tables look different from all the other ones, and
it means that the following patch to unify the tables is harder to
validate since the inputs are still not line-identical.
Is there some reason you went with this approach?
