Excuse me, after comparing the code details between kernel version
disassembler and binutils version disassembler, I am sure the kernel
version disassembler is the part of the binutils version disassembler:

 - kernel version is DISASM_ONLY.

 - kernel version does not need BFD_RELOC.

 - kernel version has defined __KERNEL__ (so need not check it again).

 - kernel version decode_X1_fsm[1206] is older than binutils version
   decode_X1_fsm[1266].

I guess, for qemu, we need !DISASM_ONLY, and may need BFD_RELOC, and may
need the latest decode_X1_fsm, and also may need !__KERNEL__ -- which
means we will use the full binutils version disassembler!!

In current condition, I really don't know how to do next. Welcome any
ideas, and suggestions.


Thanks.
