Not counting instructions that read/write many registers (rdmsr/wrmsr, 
mul/imul/div/idiv, rdtsc, etc.), I think the only other instruction with 
an implicit DstDX is cwd/cdq/cqo.  Since cwd/cdq/cqo needs c->dst.bytes 
= c->src.bytes (not op_bytes) I think DstDX is not really reusable 
beyond port instructions.
