Fixed, thanks.

I'm not really convinced, because the set of things that
would need to change to make the maximum EL not 1 would
be so huge that one array size more or less is not really
very relevant. This seems to me like the kind of thing that
will shake itself out when somebody gets round to adding
EL2 or EL3 emulation support.

We have an entire 32 bit integer to work with for the ID
numbers, so there's no reason to make patches harder to
review by squashing together things that would be clearer
handled separately.
