The handling of `table' is strange.  One would expect the caller of
this function to provide the correct table index, and for the caller to
increment that index at an appropriate time.

So I take a look around but cannot find any means by which
->add_entry() is called with anything other than RIO_GLOBAL_TABLE. 
Maybe I missed something.  Is this all dead code?
