What Brandon is trying to say here is "add _t to typedefs, don't
add _t to structs". In kernel we use explicit structs.

The macro itself is too trivial to be commented, IMHO, but I have
to ask just what it is doing there. It is only applied to
precomputed values from pac207_decompress_table, as far as I see.
So, they cannot be out of range. Or can they?
