[PATCH 2/2] x86: extend insn decoder to understand xop and evex prefixes

From: Denys Vlasenko
Date: Fri May 16 2014 - 14:35:39 EST


Since xop and evex prefixes are extensions of vex mechanism,
they have similar bit layouts, and they can never be combined
(an instruction can have only one of them),
(ab)use insn->vex_prefix to store data of xop and evex too.

Users will need to conditionalize on insn->vex_prefix.bytes[0]
instead of insn->vex_prefix.nbytes if they want to determine
which of vex(-like) prefixes are there.

Instead of adding more inattr bits for these prefixes, drop
VEX inattr bits and use VEX opcode values directly to detect them.
There is no point in having additional level of indirection here.
(And we are close to running out of inattr bits for prefixes).
