Reworking how x86's isa description works. I'm adopting the following definitions to make figuring out what's what a little easier:
MicroOp: A single operation actually implemented in hardware. MacroOp: A collection of microops which are executed as a unit. Instruction: An architected instruction which can be implemented with a macroop or a microop. --HG-- extra : convert_revision : 1cfc8409cc686c75220767839f55a30551aa6f13
