This seems needlessly restrictive. Something like:

is_nop5(const char *buf)
{
	struct insn insn;

	ret = insn_decode_kernel(&insn, buf)
	if (ret < 0)
		return false;

	if (insn.length != 5)
		return false;

	if (insn.opcode[0] != 0x0f ||
	    insn.opcode[1] != 0x1f)
	    	return false;

	return true;
}

Should do I suppose.

ok, looks good, should I respin with this, or is follow up ok?

I cleaned up already; I pushed out these patches to queue/perf/core and
added a few of my own.

I will need to write better Changelogs, and post them, but I need to run
some errants first.
