you can simply say here: "if SIB.base == 5, the base of the

You don't need that sentence as the only thing that matters is ModRM.mod
being 0.

The 0 test we normally do with the ! (also flip parts of if-condition):

Bah, unlikely's in something which is not really a hot path. They only
encumber readability, no need for them.
