Will add it.

Will drop the 'is'.

>That table64 looks superfluous.

Yes, 'table64' looks superfluous here, but after these lines, there is:
                        if (!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_X86_64) && table64 >> 32) {
so the 'table64' is useful here for i386. 'table' is unsigned long, it
can't do the right shift. But the 'table64' who is u64 can do that right
shift.
