Might I complain that:

	make O=allmodconfig-build drivers/gpu/drm/amd/display/dc/

does not in fact work?

Anyway, how do people feel about something like the below?

Masami, Boris, is there any semi-sane way we can have insn_is_fpu() ?
While digging through various opcode manuals is of course forever fun, I
do feel like it might not be the best way.
