[...] I'm not sure if I CC'd the appropriate people, but I'd like to know if this seems like the proper approach to generalizing the main disassembly loop. Every time someone updates a target it becomes a little cumbersome to keep this type of patches in synch (for now, only in i386 and arm). Thanks, Lluis
