Hmm. I think we have a bug here.

What if this instruction has REX.B = 1? Granted, REX.B = 1 has no effect on
rip-relative addressing and therefore normally won't be generated by gcc/as,
but still. If you replace md and r/m fields as above, you are trying to convert
0x12345678(%rip) reference to (%rcx), but if REX.B = 1, then you in fact
converted it to (%r9)!
