I was thinking of the magic hex numbers in the kprobes decode tables,

seem to correspond directly to the instruction classes described in insn.c

Keeping the actual emulation code separate makes sense.

Of course that follows the model of the much more complex arm32
kprobes/uprobes decoding.  I can have a go at replacing it with insn.c
calls.

well, the magic hex numbers were derived directly from ARMv8 ARM
Tabled C4.1 thru C4.6 and bit-masking would be faster search, but
surely you can give a try with insn.c (this would consume lot of
function calls to arrive at same decision).
