That'd have to be a variably sized structure with pairs of sysreg
ID/value items in it I think which would be a bit of a pain to implement
but doable.  The per-record header is 64 bits, we'd get maximal saving
by allocating a byte for the IDs.

It would be very unfortunate timing to start gating things on such a
change though (I'm particularly worried about GCS here, at this point
the kernel changes are blocking the entire ecosystem).
