You don't explain what the --no-compat flag is good for.

I would hope we can avoid adding even more flags here since
there may be other (external) scripts that process the same data 
and that need to stay in sync.

Hardcoding the path here means the script can no longer work
outside of the kernel tree.  Maybe you can you combine this with
the --common-tbl argument to pass the file name?
