Ah, thank you for the pointer to C99 6.7.8.21. I had always figured since
structs are stack allocated they are potentially non-initialized!

Thanks, I will do both in the next few days everything permitting! Right now
this patch results in no change until note_non_leaf = true is adopted for each
arch.

My plan: I will polish then include output of my personal fixes for arm64.
Specifically, printing expanded PMD flags and tab indenting the layout
according to each level.

Hopefully just adding arm64 support for now is OK, unless maybe we want to
default this to true on all arches? IMO default true would be sweet, but I
wasn't sure everyone would agree.

BRs,
