PT uses page sized ToPA tables, where the ToPA table resides at the bottom and its driver-specific metadata taking up a few words at the top of the page. The split is currently calculated manually and needs to be redone every time a field is added to or removed from the metadata structure. Also, the 32-bit version can be made smaller. By splitting the table and metadata into separate structures, we are making the compiler figure out the division of the page.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
