To avoid these diagnostics getting yet more diffuse, can you please switch
to

		as_bad (_("can't encode register '%s%s' in an "
			  "instruction requiring %s prefix"),
			register_prefix, i.op[x].regs->reg_name,
			i.tm.opcode_modifier.evex ? "EVEX" : "REX/REX2");

Okay with that (or a substantially similar; I didn't test the above, after
all) adjustment.
