It's true that the way the code is currently written that removing this
flag will not change the insn encoding.  All InvMem does on *source*
operands of these reg->reg insns is document that the register is
encoded in the regmem field of the modrm byte.  So why do you want to
remove documentation?  There is certainly nothing wrong with InvMem on
these operands.
