Re: [Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v1 03/22] target/i386: Use prefix, aflag and dflag from DisasContext

[Jan Bobek]

Hi Aleksandar,

thanks a lot for your feedback! I have to admit that I paid little
attention to this particular patch, because it was authored by
Richard; I simply included it verbatim. I agree that it would be
clearer if it were split into three patches, and the description could
be made less confusing.  I will make sure to include your suggestions
in v2.

Thanks a lot for looking over my code!

Best,
-Jan
