Re: insert evaluation for multi-ifields broken

The multi-ifield is usually used for a register operand. However, there
are some special instructions where this operand is not needed, so a
bunch of them can be encoded by using different values in this field -
I implemented this with a normal-insn-enum, which uses the multi-ifield.
Individual values of this enum are then placed in the format of the
the separate insns, whcih is equivalent to putting a constant into the
field.
Understood and quite reasonable, but unfortunately broken. Your choices
would seem to be to fix the bug or try the workaround.
