By "encodings" I assume you mean the opcodes, not the templates. The
templates modified here all clearly don't allow byte operands, and
that's what counts when considering whether W is applicable.

I don't think they can, let me got through:

While the Reg64 part would be fine to be merged, I'm not convinced the
Imm64 part can sensibly be (in a regression free manner). Nevertheless
it might be possible, but to be honest I'm not up to investing time
here. If this could be sensibly folded, it shouldn't have been a
separate template to begin with. Furthermore, folding this one when
(see below) the others can't be folded into anything would mean further
(even if just slightly) more complicated code in optimize_encoding().

movabs is a 64-bit only mnemonic.

There are no suitable movq templates without Cpu64 that these could
be merged with.
