Hongtao, can you look into it?

We decided that ENTER and LEAVE are safe.  Hongtao, can you look into others?

Yes, AMD specific insns are skipped.  Hongtao, can you look into it?

I changed to:

static void
insert_lfence_before (void)
{
  char *p;

  if (is_any_vex_encoding (&i.tm))
    return;

This is a very good suggestion.  I will talk to our people.  In meantime,
I'd like to keep it as is since this version has been tested extensively.
We can change it to SHL 0 later.
