The longest register name is 3 characters (plus a nul one), so using a
4- or 8-byte pointer to get at it is neither space nor time efficient.
Embed the names right into the array. For PIE this also slightly reduces
the number of base relocations in the final image.

di_si[], looking at its contents, also is somewhat misnamed, I would
say.
