That unsigned int seems to be a change from the arm64 tree in next. It's
not upstream and it'll cause a (easy to resolve) conflict.
Ugh, I thought the arm64 is in upstream already. Note that this patch
just takes what is in this arm64 fix and makes it effective for all
architectures. So I will wait with v2 until it merges upstream.

So, Will, will you incorporate Thomas' comments into your arm64 fix?

Yes, we probably can't change that anymore, but at least we should make it
very explicit and add a comment to that effect.
Something like this or do you want a comment yet?
        unsigned int op =         (encoded_op & 0x70000000) >> 28;
        unsigned int cmp =        (encoded_op & 0x0f000000) >> 24;
        int oparg = sign_extend32((encoded_op & 0x00fff000) >> 12, 12);
        int cmparg = sign_extend32(encoded_op & 0x00000fff, 12);

thanks,
