Sorry, an oversight.

Test added.

Built and tested on ia64-unknown-linux-gnu.

	* config/tc-ia64.c (parse_operands): Parse all specified
operands,
	immediately discarding (but counting) those exceeding the
maximum
	possible amount. Track whether output and input operand counts
ever
	matched, and use this to better indicate which of the operands/
	operand types was wrong; specifically don't default to pointing
to
	the first operand.

	* gas/ia64/operands.[ls]: New.
	* gas/ia64/ia64.exp: Run new test.
