Oh, indeed. Better than 30. :)

This appears to be conservative in that you're requiring only 2 bytes (a

Yes, paging is totally optional here. The only field that is written is the
link.

Otherwise I would think you could

Nice.

Haha, yeah X86Access is perfect here.

Paolo

Looks like a fantastic cleanup overall.
