Mmmh... the instruction decoder doesn't currently give us a reliable
access size though. (I know, I'm using it here regardless, but it
doesn't really matter here if the decoded size is too big from time to
time... whereas I imagine that that'd matter quite a bit for #AC
handling.) IIRC e.g. a MOVZX that loads 1 byte into a 4-byte register
is decoded as having .opnd_bytes==4; and if you look through
arch/x86/lib/insn.c, there isn't even anything that would ever set
->opnd_bytes to 1. You'd have to add some plumbing to get reliable
access sizes. I don't want to add a helper for this before the
underlying infrastructure actually works properly.
