But maybe people should start looking for other complex instructions that are lockable.. (the only other complex instruction I can think of is the bitmap instructions - bt, bts, btc, btr - but they don't actually have an illegal addressing mode).
I would expect possible bugs in the mul/div insns with lock prefixes, they can be locked can't they? If so do they have illegal addressing modes you can form invalid opcodes with?
