I got

FAIL: i386 intel
FAIL: i386 intel
FAIL: i386 intel16
FAIL: i386 intel-ok
FAIL: i386 noreg16
FAIL: i386 noreg32
FAIL: i386 movx16
FAIL: i386 movx32
FAIL: i386
FAIL: i386 (Intel mode)
FAIL: gas/i386/iamcu-1
FAIL: x86_64
FAIL: x86-64 (Intel mode)
FAIL: i386 noreg64
FAIL: i386 movx64
FAIL: l1om
FAIL: k1om
FAIL: x86-64 (ILP32)

Also should

movsxb ax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movsxb eax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movsxb rax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movsxw eax, WORD PTR [rax]
movsxw rax, WORD PTR [rax]
movzxb ax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movzxb eax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movzxb rax, BYTE PTR [rax]
movzxw eax, WORD PTR [rax]
movzxw rax, WORD PTR [rax]

be alllowed? It is odd to disallow movsxb, but allow movsxw.  I don't
think Intel syntax
should allow suffix in this case.
