Hmmm....
Does the operand size make any difference at all for the bit instructions?
I'm pretty sure that the cpus (386 onwards) have always done aligned 32bit
transfers (the docs never actually said aligned).
I can't remember whether 64bit mode allows immediates above 31.
So gas accepting 'btb $n,memory' is giving a false impression of
what actually happens.
