Group them so that it is easier to figure out which two-byte opcodes to
tackle together.

+ * Instructions still in translate.c
+ * ---------------------------------
+ * Generation of TCG opcodes for almost all instructions is in emit.c.inc;
+ * this file interprets the prefixes and opcode bytes down to individual
+ * instruction mnemonics.  There is only a handful of opcodes still using
+ * a switch statement to decode modrm bits 3-5 and prefixes after decoding
+ * is complete; these are relics of the older x86 decoder and their code
+ * generation is performed in translate.c.
+ *
+ * These unconverted opcodes also perform their own effective address
+ * generation using the gen_lea_modrm() function.
+ *
+ * There is nothing particularly complicated about them; simply, they don't
+ * need any nasty hacks in the decoder, and they shouldn't get in the way
+ * of the implementation of new x86 instructions, so they are left alone
+ * for the time being.
