You can't pass the entire tablemap, you need to index it. Of course,
the index variable can be an expression ... also, its possible to
pass all the tables individually into the opcode, and then recreate
the table map in the opcode itself. But passing unindexed tablemaps
directly isn't in the definition of the opcode formal parameter
list in 5.8.7.4.1, p 58 of the FDIS, and so isn't permitted.
