Right, I think we shouldn't delay processing these patches because of
that, we can do it as follow up patches, both for fallbacks in case we
can detect problems like we did with capstone -> objdump disasm and also
to be able to compare outputs in 'perf test' shell scripts, discounting
known/expected minor differences.
