You want to at least add a comment here, detailing the fact that where 
the magic 15 comes from and that you want to exercise the normal 
prefetch path while still allowing the buffer to shrink < 15 bytes :). 
Maybe move MAX_INST_SIZE from svm.c into a .h file and reuse that while 
at it.

I can see why you want to combine them, but I don't understand where 
"Segman" comes from. Where is there a man here?
