How about adding it in the xxxLLMappings annotations? It seems logical
to me to have them organized the same as the chip annotations. It would
also be useful to just match the mapping names to the annotations so
they can be used directly with HyperGTest and other functionality (for
example looking at the result of a genome-wide scan of promoter
elements).

Since the chip annotations basically go:

probe -> EntrezID -> everything else

I would guess it should not be too difficult to add "EntrezID ->
everything else" in the xxxLLMappings.

It might also be a way to simplify the generation of annotations if the
probe -> EntrezID and EntrezID -> rest were separated, but I don't know
how much work would be involved there.
