Unlike many other architectures, x86 does not share an opcode table
between assembly and disassembly. Any consumer of libopcodes would only
ever access one of the two.
1: instantiate i386_{op,reg}tab[] in gas instead of in libopcodes

Unlike many other architectures, x86 does not share an opcode table
between assembly and disassembly. Any consumer of libopcodes would only
ever access one of the two. Since gas is the only consumer of the
assembly data, move it there. While doing so mark respective entities
"static" in i386-gen (we may want to do away with i386_regtab_size
altogether).
This also shrinks the number of relocations to be processed for
libopcodes.so by about 30%.

Remove the now empty i386-opc.c. To compensate, tie table generation in
opcodes/ to the building of i386-dis.o, despite the file not really
depending on the generated data.

Now that the table is local to gas, ARRAY_SIZE() can be used to
determine the end of the table. Re-arrange the processing loop in
md_begin() accordingly, at the same time folding the two calls to
notes_alloc() into just one.
---
v2: New.
---
We may want to consider having i386-gen also produce a table of type
"templates[]", which we could then iterate through without needing to
do any allocations (and with fewer overall iterations).

We need to add some dependencies on i386-opc.tbl and i386-reg.tbl for
--enable-maintainer-mode to check if i386-tbl.h and i386-init.h are up to
date. It doesn't need to regenerate i386-tbl.h. An error message should be
sufficient.

This isn't needed here, but in patch 2, where I'm already adjusting
existing dependencies. Since I'm not modifying any toplevel files, the
building of opcodes/ still ought to be happening before the building of
gas/, so I don't see why any further changes should be necessary. Please
clarify if you see any such reason.

Since gas no longer depends on libopcodes, one may change i386-opc.tbl and
run "make" in gas. It is more reliable than the fake dependency in opcodes.

Is running make in gas/ a supported operation?

If the answer to the above is yes, then I may agree here. Except that then
I don't see how this dependency is being enforced prior to this series.
IOW - aren't you asking to address an unrelated issue?

But then please in a separate change, on top of this series. I'm willing
to make such a patch (whether that then finds your approval is a separate
question), but I'd please like to see things unblocked here.

But then the build will be broken in opcodes/. That one is needed _now_.
The new dependency in gas/ is orthogonal and hence can be added
subsequently. If that's not your understanding, then please go into
further detail.
