This bit here:

====
@define return_sanitized(indexable, key)
%(
    present = 0
    foreach (_key in @indexable)
        if (_key == @key)
            present = 1
    if (present == 0)
        return -1
    else
        return @indexable[@key]
%)
====

can be replaced by the following, so that once we find the key we stop:

====
@define return_sanitized(indexable, key)
%(
    present = 0
    foreach (_key in @indexable) {
        if (_key == @key) {
            present = 1
            break
        }
    }
    if (present == 0)
        return -1
    else
        return @indexable[@key]
%)
====

However, there is an even easer way. stap has a built-in operator for array
index inclusion - "in":

====
@define return_sanitized(indexable, key)
%(
    if (@key in @indexable)
        return @indexable[@key]
    else
        return -1
%)
====

I imagine that the syscall tables themselves will end up in arch-specific
directories. I can't imagine wanting to look up an s390x syscall number on an
x86_64 machine.
