This does not improve "code size" at all; after all you are actually
adding code (and an indirection) with your allocation. If one interprets
"code size" as "size of the binary" (instead of just .text), then this
patch still doesn't make sense, because the tables are currently in .bss
which does not increase the size of the binaries (that's at least the
case for common systems, is it different for you?).
And of course you are missing the error check (in fact, you have no way
to return an error from init functions like this).
