I agree, it'd be better if the table were autogenerated.  Having tried
doing the modification to # it does mean that the document looks a bit
weird when viewing it as a text file in the kernel source which TBH is
how I suspect a lot of people will view it so given the infrequency with
which new registers are added I'm not sure it's worth it.
