thinking about this some more, i see two problems.  (1) we've been providing 4 
bytes to probe funcs (like the spansion), so 3 is too small.  (2) all of the 
probe devices today expect to get the whole idcode buffer.  so if we're going 
to change this API, we need to fix all the probe funcs too.  but that is a lot 
of changes to roll into one commit, so let's first focus on converting to a 
table without changing any probe semantics.

see the follow up patch that addresses these issues and some other stuff.
