Should be *len = 8 when insn >> 26 == 1.

But please use ppc_inst_prefixed().  And just use ppc_inst_len() here?

Not having convenience abstraction functions like that will give you
much more work in the future -- currently all prefix insns use primary
opcode 1, sure, and nothing else does; but this can change.
