Comment (by Tarrasch):
Did you see my comment in the commit message? I reproduce it here:
''There's no way to reuse the code for say [P, P] and [P, N], since the
juxtaposing of code and data when compiling with TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE.''
Well I guess it still applies if you don't compile with
`TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE`.
Here is some more elaboration: If you intend to share the code but have
two different tables, you do that by letting the "code-entry-pointer" in
the two tables point to the same code. But there's no such "code-entry-
pointer" field with `TABLES_NEXT_TO_CODE`.
