I have just spot-checked a few lines in current diff, and most of the lines I tried contain only whitespace changes. Which makes the diff larger than it can/should be.

Is what you want this https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/commit/b38f3672d1d2c2f3ecd7b8b48db7be29148662fa with some effort to keep the table sane, but the columns are unaligned?

Or this with absolutely no whitespace changes? ~~https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/commit/2dba3de2331b6fdb2148c2fc48b4d514045b26f9~~ https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/commit/d39601ddf6b4610a905465f3ea97b01bd6254cc1

Or https://github.com/openjdk/valhalla/commit/59c1fc2e7dedd079a61dced4401267dace7c642d which is the first version but the columns aligned. (When modifying structured / aligned tables, variable declarations / definitions, I usually try to fix their format after the change.)
