This shall help with tricky future bug reports to ensure that all the
tables are in a sane state.  This is especially true for cases where the
tables need a refresh but they were not refreshed for one reason or
another.  Maciej just reported a case like that at the late part of the
patch queue thanks to this.

Can we at least keep this under a kconfig option that defaults to N?

If still no, what would be a good place to keep this patch?
