Thank you very much for trying this work :)
But sorry, Nak, I don't like to use the prefix byte directly.
I'd rather like to add additional inattr bits for them.
This is a drawback of what I've done by gen-insn-atter-x86.awk.
It is prefer that x86 instruction information should be hidden
in opcode map and awk decoder.
And also, we should expand x86-opcode-map.txt for new instructions.
