Subject: [PATCH v10 11/18] x86/insn-eval: Add a utility function to get register offsets

The function get_reg_offset() returns the offset to the register the
argument specifies as indicated in an enumeration of type offset. Callers
of this function would need the definition of such enumeration. This is
not needed. Instead, add helper functions for this purpose. These functions
are useful in cases when, for instance, the caller needs to decide whether
the operand is a register or a memory location by looking at the rm part
of the ModRM byte. As of now, this is the only helper function that is
needed.
