Maybe best seen here: maps 4, 5, and 6 denote EVEX in their identifiers.
Having it be just "MAP7" suggests it's also usable with legacy encodings.
If you really think "VEX" in the name ends up misleading, then may I
suggest to use e.g. "xVEX" instead?

Like above, this placement again suggests that it might cover legacy
encodings? What's wrong with ...

... keeping it where it was (perhaps with the blank line removed)?

Pre-approved with both adjustments made. Unless of course you disagree,
in which case we need to discuss things further.
