For the record, opcode tables that are shared with the assembler
usually go in a file named opcodes/<target>-opc.c, not in the
opcodes/<target>-dis.c file.  The minor difference is that the
assembler then doesn't link in the disassembly code.  Just
mentioned as a note for new targets, which might be inclined to
take after traits of the more well-known targets.
