>From patch 02 to patch 05, some changes have been included in the
patch set "perf arm-spe: Refactor decoding & dumping flow".  I
refactored the Arm SPE decoder so uses macros to replace the hard code
numbers for packet formats.  So I'd like your changes could rebase on
this refactor patch set, thus can reuse the predefined macros for
decoding.

For this patch, it has been included in the patch [2].  You could see
your implementation is difference for handling "ALIGNMENT", it misses
to check "idx > 2".  It would be very helpful if you could review
patch [2].
