Due to conflict between LaTeX Packages hyperref and tabularx,
both of them attempt to tweak the internal code of \footnote{}
command, normal footnotes don't work in tabularx.
This made Paul use a primitive approach for the footnote added in
commit 1760abb74224 ("defer/whichtochoose: Note possibility of
membarrier() for hazptr").
Alternative way for footnotes inside tabularx is to use the
"parnotes" package, whose implementation is orthogonal to hyperref
and tabularx.
This commit employs this approach and uses the command \parnote in
tabularx, and encloses the footnote-printing \parnotes command in
a minipage to prevent the footnote text from centered.
As hyperref is not aware of parnotes, there is no crossref to the
footnote text.

Hi Paul,
I'm not sure if you are happy with the addition of yet another
LaTeX package dependency, but I just wanted to show you this is
possible. There might be other places where "parnotes" fits.
The trick of minipage for preventing centering should work in
your primitive approach.
It's up to you to take this one or not.
Thanks, Akira
