Does it?

	"callw 1f; 1:\n"
	"rep; nop\n"

objdump:

	66 e8 00 00             callw  485 <_init-0x3ffed3>
	f3 90                   pause


if we probe this "callw", we copy MAX_INSN_BYTES into auprobe->insn,
and after insn_get_length() (insn_complete() == T)

	// this is correct
	OPCODE1() == e8	

	// this all looks wrong
	insn->length == 6
	insn->immediate.value == -1863122944
	insn->immediate.nbytes == 4

so it seems that lib/insn.c treats the next "pause" insn as the high
16 bits of address.
