Eh, casting to u8 is "absolutely correct" as well. I don't like using bytes[]
because it feels like accessing the raw data as opposed to the end result of
decoding, but it's not a sticking point.

Yes, insn_get_immediate() sets insn->immediate.value directly and sign extends
the imm8 (which is correct, e.g. for "AND r/m64, imm8").

switch (inat_immediate_size(insn->attr)) {
case INAT_IMM_BYTE:
insn->immediate.value = get_next(signed char, insn);
insn->immediate.nbytes = 1;
break;
...
