Well, fundamentally a function like amd64_get_insn_details() should live
in the disassembler (library). Just that, from all I know, the disassembler
isn't set up at all to hand out that kind of information. It would take
quite a bit of re-org to allow that to effectively be a byproduct (as it
ought to be, imo).
