Notice that ARM includes a lot of other instructions from this table,
not just those above.

But these changes result in _only_ the ones that were in the #if __arm__
being matched.  This is wrong.

If we want to go that way, we need to add _all_ arm instructions to
instructions_arm, not just those within the #if.

Yes, I've mentioned same in cover letter as well.

Can I add all x86 instructions for arm as well? If not, can you please provide
a list of arm instructions that needs to be added here.
