  For type 0 and 1 no they are unique in theory, but other tables
can have duplicates like type 4 since there is one per processor.
I don't think we should go too deep trying to assert semantic at
that level, since anyway the drivers will have a very restricted
view of the whole thing, and will only pick some of the information
they can process. Still I wanted the format to be as generic as
possible,
