That new line boils down to:

		[ilog2(0)]	= "",

on x86.  It wasn't *obvious* to me that it is OK to do that.  The other
possibly undefined bits (VM_SOFTDIRTY for instance) #ifdef themselves
out of this array.

I would just be a wee bit worried that this would overwrite the 0 entry
("??") with "".
