From: Masami Hiramatsu

Hi Ingo,

Here are the patches of bugfixes and updates for x86
instruction decoder. Since it seems that previous
patches are not merged yet, I included thoes and
updated for the latest tip tree.

This series fixes below bugs;

<Important>
- Doesn't build decoder selftest tool (test_get_len).
- Fails to decode some grouped AVX instructions.

<Minor>
- insn_sanity may dump message twice on same instruction
- insn_sanity outputs information message on stderr.

And updates x86 instruction maps for AVX2 according to
Intel(R) 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's
Manual Vol.2 (#325383-040US, October 2011) and Intel(R)
Advanced Vector Extensions Programming Reference
(#319433-011,JUNE 2011).

Thank you,

---
