[Bug admin/10767] New: opcodes/i386-dis.c exceeds 256 levels of nested macros

[jerker dot back at gmail dot com]

This is not a bug, rather to inform that the current solution breaks the
MS x64 compiler <= 15.00.30729.01. There is a limit of max 256 levels
of nested macros. The Intel compiler v11.1 do not have this limit,
neither do gcc.

As there are no functional 64bit gcc for PE targets and the Intel
compiler is not fully compatible with NT POSIX, the only current
possible choice is the MS compiler to get 64bit binaries.

Here is a simple solution to get it working:
Preprocess opcodes/i386-dis.c with the Intel compiler. 
Extract "struct dis386 vex_table" to opcodes/i386-dis_tables.c
Apply the following patch:
