Without the table moving, the volatile was first used under #ifdef
CONFIG_X86_64. I was wondering if I add a comment in #ifdef people
looking at it might assume that its a problem only on x86_64 only.

So I moved the CONFIG_X86_64 specific table down and added the comment
for volatile at the first instance  its used.
