I agree. As Fred pointed out the registers in this patch are all direct scom 
addressable so should just be defined directly without using NPU2_REG_OFFSET, 
etc. as there is no way to translate from block/stack/offset to direct scom 
address. Alternatively you could define these using the indirect NPU_RING 
addresses defined in the workbook, although I'm not sure what you would gain 
from that.

I think it would be helpful to print both the name and the scom address. Other 
than that I think this is a great idea - having names in the print out would 
be very useful.
