Yeah, we tend to call that customarily 16-bit :)

Right, so default address and operand size always go together so I don't
think you need two separate functions.

So what I'd suggest - provided this pans out (I still haven't reviewed
the whole thing) - is to determine the operating mode of the segment:
long, legacy, etc and then return both address and operand sizes. Patch
17/21 needs them both at the same time AFAICT.
