Mind me asking whether this work is now based on my "x86: split insn
templates' CPU field"? You don't say so here, so my initial assumption
would be that it isn't. That's also supported by me peeking at patch 3.
Yet that patch was specifically created as a prereq for the APX work to
base on top (and it may require further refinement, the need for which
I could only know once you're actually using that patch as a prereq).
