Approved - please apply, but ...

Would this function ever return a negative value ?  I assume not, so
it would make sense for its return type to be "unsigned int".

Also will the LSB parameter ever be used ?  I assume that it is there
for a future extension to this function which might need it, but if
that is only theoretical, then maybe the parameter can be dropped
entirely and the code simplified.

Since len is always returned without any further processing you
could save a bit of space in the function by moving the return 
instruction into the switch statement.  eg:

  case bfd_mach_arc_arc600:
    return (major_opcode > 0xb) ? 2 : 4;
