I think they are first used in patch 11 so I assume you also want me to
just keep the pad here (with a comment explaining why it is here) until
that patch.
Ah, those ones I simply recalled having checked in the previous

But should they they also not be defined until later patch, to be consistent with how lapic_lvtpc's definition is deferred?
