Masami Hiramatsu 436d03faf6 x86/decoder: Fix bsr/bsf/jmpe decoding with operand-size prefix
Fix the x86 instruction decoder to decode bsr/bsf/jmpe with
operand-size prefix (66h). This fixes the test case failure
reported by Linus, attached below.

bsf/bsr/jmpe have a special encoding. Opcode map in
Intel Software Developers Manual vol2 says they have
TZCNT/LZCNT variants if it has F3h prefix. However, there
is no information if it has other 66h or F2h prefixes.
Current instruction decoder supposes that those are
bad instructions, but it actually accepts at least
operand-size prefixes.

H. Peter Anvin further explains:

 " TZCNT/LZCNT are F3 + BSF/BSR exactly because the F2 and
   F3 prefixes have historically been no-ops with most instructions.
   This allows software to unconditionally use the prefixed versions
   and get TZCNT/LZCNT on the processors that have them if they don't
   care about the difference. "

This fixes errors reported by test_get_len:
