I got hung-up on this for a bit since there isn't any "must-be-0" fields,
only ignored fields, but the next patch gives a clue which helped me make
sense of this. The encoding of these instructions with ignored fields set
to anything except zero gets into reserved instruction territory, and QEMU
may legally raise an illegal-instruction in that case, which this patch
will start doing. It'd be nice to have a bit more text in this commit
message to make that clear.

^ need two more spaces here to line up with fence.
