Add "No functional changes." here.

No need for that linebreak - fits in 80 cols.

This reads strange: seg_base is changed only inside that if test so I
guess we could test it there too:

        if (!user_64bit_mode(regs)) {
                seg_base = insn_get_seg_base(regs, INAT_SEG_REG_CS);
                if (seg_base == -1L)
                        return 0;
        }

which is a small enough change to not require a separate patch.

Thx.
