mostly because this is the second half to Keith's patch
678f5396c91b3d0c7572ed579b0a4fb62b2b4655 and I'd rather have this in one
location before I start changing the layout again. I don't know how many
other places there are that rely on this to be one memory block.

It's a quickfix for a specific issue that'll hopefully become obsolete with
the next input ABI.

Cheers,
