See the recent discussion regarding callw - these can certainly have
16-bit displacements on AMD CPUs. And while disassembly may just
get "disturbed" by getting this wrong, assembly will produce bad
code if you don't account for both cases (or refuse to assemble
such mnemonics if they would require size overrides to be added).

Apart from that I wonder why you do this for CALL and JMP, but not
for Jcc, JCXZ, JRCXZ, LOOP, and LOOPcc.

But first of all - please don't bias x86 binutils towards only supporting
Intel hardware.
