Use the ARRAY_SIZE macro on several arrays to determine their size.
Improvement suggested by coccinelle.

This file is taken from binutils and re-licensed. Keeping the file
as-is helps apply newer patches easily on top as opposed to redoing
the changes. I would prefer not to move to ARRAY_SIZE and stick to
what's already in the file.

Yep.

Thanks but no thanks on this one Colin.

Is there a checkpatch blacklist anywhere? So we don't keep discovering
things in this file that need to be fixed?

Nope.  Besides, this came via a coccinelle suggestion.

What might be useful is a generic marker somewhere in
a file that shows the file as a generated file and
indicates the file should not otherwise be modified.
