And that is 0 on no-prefix, right?

Indeed, I was hoping (I really should've checked) that that byte was
duplicated in opcodes.

Also, since I already have modrm = insn->modrm.bytes[0], I should
probably use that anyway.

As per Andrew, VMCALL and VMFUNC are SMV, and I really only need VMX in
this case. Including SMV is probably harmless, but I'm thinking a
smaller function is better.

Thanks!
