It could work like this: 1. Instruction calls read with flags. 2. Build a request with the flags and the right size, translate it, and stick it in the dynInst. 3. Actually do the read with the translated request.
Or if you want to break it up more: 1. Instruction calls read with flags. 2. Build a request with the flags and the right size, and stick it in the dynInst. 3. Pull out the request, translate it, and stick it back in the dynInst. 4. Actually do the read with the translated request.
