In target-i386/translate.c there are this instructions:
int op, f, val;
op = (b >> 3) & 7;
f = (b >> 1) & 3;
if ((b & 1) == 0)
    ot = OT_BYTE;
else
    ot = dflag + OT_WORD;
What does this code do??

It extracts some useful subfields from one-byte opcodes, e.g. op is
the arithmetic
operation code, f is operand encoding and ot is operand width.
