Why not delete the indirection table?
So you end up with:

const unsigned char const x86_nops[8][8] = {
        { BYTES_NOP1 },
        { BYTES_NOP2 },
        { BYTES_NOP3 },
        { BYTES_NOP4 },
        { BYTES_NOP5 },
        { BYTES_NOP6 },
        { BYTES_NOP7 },
        { BYTES_NOP8 }
};

The rest of the patch may not need changing.
