The first case must be accepted, since masm allows this as long as the pointer
width specified matches the register width. masm fails when the latter isn't
true, while gas emit a warning only. I don't think that's a problem, though.

As to whether the noprefix handling is correct the way it currently is - that
doesn't depend on Intel mode only, as the register parsing logic is, afaics, the
same in both AT&T and Intel modes. Generally I would say current behavior is
wrong at least in Intel mode, but someone with more profound AT&T syntax
knowledge would need to clarify whether this should be changed for both modes or
just for Intel.
