Yes, I meant that. This was a copy/paste error.

Yes. I will reword.

Yes, I can get rid of it.

I will reword it to say "A struct pt_regs containing register values
indicated by the ModRM byte".

Will make the spelling consistent.

Masami Hiramatsu had originally requested to add the two functions. I
suppose the unneeded functions could be added if/when needed.
