Hi,
Did you try this patch?

Subject: [tip:x86/urgent] x86: Don't use POSIX character classes in gen-insn-attr-x86.awk

It depends on which documentation.  I am for some of it.
GregKH for some of it.  Other people for other parts of it.

But for this one, I could merge it, but I think that it's not needed
due to the patch that I mentioned above.  If your patch is still
needed, Andrew or I can merge it.
