[PATCH v7 0/7] x86: suffix handling changes

[Jan Beulich <jbeulich@suse.com>]

... accompanied by a few other improvements (or so I hope) found
along the way.

Apart from re-basing this is merely a re-submission, in an attempt to
revive the discussion: There are multiple bugs being fixed by this
series, which I'd like to ask to not put off simply with a subjective
qualification of them being minor. Plus even if minor, it's one thing
to not invest time into addressing a minor bug, but here a fix is
being supplied, ready for committing. I'd like to also stress again
that I've taken quite a bit of time to address concerns, and to hence
find a viable compromise.

1: constify parse_insn()'s input
2: re-work insn/suffix recognition
3: don't recognize/derive Q suffix in the common case
4: allow HLE store of accumulator to absolute 32-bit address
5: move bad-use-of-TLS-reloc check
6: drop (now) stray IsString
7: further re-work insn/suffix recognition to also cover MOVSX

Note that patches 3...5 were previously approved (albeit 3 has now
changed because of the re-ordering of the series in v5), but can't be
committed ahead of the earlier ones.

While I don't think there's any collision with the also pending "x86:
break gas dependency on libopcodes" series (apart from generated files),
just in case: The series here is presented on top of that one, but could
be easily re-based ahead.
