Hohumm... creative formatting.  Can't you just cache the tables
pointer in a local variable with short name and avoid the creativity?

Also, if we already know that SRAT is what we want, I wonder whether
it'd be simpler to store the location of SRAT somewhere instead of
trying to be generic with the early processing.
