We only use regsym in one place, for indirect register operands.  So it
looks we only need the 11 or so IND_* registers in regsym, plus some
code to do a bounds check and complain if we don't have an IND_*
register here.  Or maybe insert an invalid symbol so that the problem
will be detected later.

Moving it to the end of md sounds reasonable too, as this is a rarely
used field, so we may as well move it out of the way of the more
important fields.

OK.
