When I build this for x86_64, mask[] is assembled on-stack at runtime:

        leaq    -48(%rbp), %r14 #, tmp130
        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        movl    $16, %ecx       #,
        movq    %rax, %rdi      # regmap,
        incq    .LPBX1+552(%rip)        # *.LPBX1
        movb    $-128, -64(%rbp)        #, mask
        movq    %r14, %rdx      # tmp130,
        movb    $-128, -63(%rbp)        #, mask
        movb    $-128, -62(%rbp)        #, mask
        movb    $-8, -61(%rbp)  #, mask
        movb    $-64, -60(%rbp) #, mask
        movb    $96, -59(%rbp)  #, mask
        movb    $0, -58(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -57(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -56(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -55(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -54(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -53(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -52(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $0, -51(%rbp)   #, mask
        movb    $96, -50(%rbp)  #, mask
        movb    $124, -49(%rbp) #, mask
        call    regmap_bulk_read        #

If we make `mask' static const, that all gets done at compile time instead:

        leaq    -48(%rbp), %r14 #, tmp134
        xorl    %esi, %esi      #
        movl    $16, %ecx       #,
        movq    %rax, %rdi      # regmap,
        incq    .LPBX1+552(%rip)        # *.LPBX1
        movq    %r14, %rdx      # tmp134,
        call    regmap_bulk_read        #

much nicer.
