Hmm, I'm not sure this is better. "rmread" is an instruction but then you have
a struct called this way too. Strange. :-\

I think you almost had it already with a little more explanations:

The convention being that the _raw entry is what's in the actual table and
rmpentry is what RMPREAD returns. I think this is waaay more natural.

Hmmm.
