I tried to use generic structure and macro, but many members of generic 
struct insn are not used for MPX, and except this I have to add one 
member into this structure. So I define mpx specific struct insn.

And so I guess only struct insn_field and several macros like X86_XXX 
may use generic version. Anyway, I will try to use their generic version 
in next version for this patchset.
