Well, OK, I'll update the changelog and remove the "error ... ignored"
part. Although to be honest, I do not understand why do you think it
is bad to document the other problems you found while you were writing
the patch.

Yes sure,

No, sorry, I strongly disagree, this should come as a separate change,
and only after "Emulate jmp's".

Hmm. Not sure I understand "by default". If you meant that this should
go into default_emulate_op() (which we do not have), then I strongly
disagree again.

It should not, if nothing else we need to record insn->length somewhere,
this should go into ttt_emulate_op() we add later. And it simply looks
much more natural to handle jmp's and nop's together.

Masami, this time I simply can't understand your objections, please
clarify.

Thanks,

Oleg.
