[PATCH] x86: don't suppress errors when optimizing

Blindly ignoring any mnemonic suffix can't be quite right: Bad suffix /
operand combinations still want flagging. Simply avoid optimizing in
such situations.

Introducing a new helper function right here, for it to be used in v2 of
"x86: a few more optimizations".
