Well, OK, I'll update the changelog and remove the "error ... ignored" part. Although to be honest, I do not understand why do you think it is bad to document the other problems you found while you were writing the patch.

Yes sure,

No, sorry, I strongly disagree, this should come as a separate change, and only after "Emulate jmp's".

Hmm. Not sure I understand "by default". If you meant that this should go into default_emulate_op() (which we do not have), then I strongly disagree again.
It should not, if nothing else we need to record insn->length somewhere, this should go into ttt_emulate_op() we add later. And it simply looks much more natural to handle jmp's and nop's together.
Masami, this time I simply can't understand your objections, please clarify.
Thanks,
Oleg.
