The idea is that, by default the generate-param.py script shouldn't need
this.  Ideally the function should be the name of the parameter, with
spaces becoming _.  Ideally the build system would always generate the
matching function.  Sadly we are very inconsistent in our names here,
and so much more metadata is required than I ever imagined, and what
existed was so often incorrect.  Thankfully Garming was able to script
the additions, but what looks like a special case was really meant to be
the default/normal case :-).

We also don't need it on synonyms (no function is generated in this
case).

You are entirely correct, this should be a different type.  We get away
with it because for the things so far generated, they are 'just'
integers.  

This and many other of the details encoded in the param_table.c (such as
the ordering, sections, flags, special handler and enumeration types),
will need to be added before we can generate that table. 

Garming, can you make sure we look into and fix this up before we finish
working on this?
