This is the same thing the kernel does, I don't see any reason why we
wouldn't do it here. The kernel also puts multiple registers on the
same line to save space, this does require looking at the code to
remember what order the regs are in but if you're decoding this stuff
that's the least of your problems so *shrug*
In any case,
