  25 /* Instruction unpacking:
  26
  27    Once the instruction has been decoded, the register (and other)
  28    fields within the instruction need to be extracted.
  29
  30    The table that follows determines how each field should be treated.
  31    Importantly it considers the case where the extracted field is to
  32    be used immediatly or stored in an instruction cache.
  33
  34    <type>
  35
  36    Indicates what to do with the cache entry.  If a cache is to be
  37    used.  SCRATCH and CACHE values are defined when a cache entry is
  38    being filled while CACHE and COMPUTE values are defined in the
  39    semantic code.
  40
  41    Zero marks the end of the table.  More importantly 1. indicates
  42    that the entry is valid and can be cached. 2. indicates that that
  43    the entry is valid but can not be cached.
  44
  45    <field_name>
  46
  47    The field name as given in the instruction spec.
  48
  49    <derived_name>
  50
  51    A new name for <field_name> once it has been extracted from the
  52    instruction (and possibly stored in the instruction cache).
  53
  54    <type>
  55
  56    String specifying the storage type for <new_name> (the extracted
  57    field>.
  58
  59    <expression>
  60
  61    Specifies how to get <new_name> from <old_name>.  If null, old and
  62    new name had better be the same. */
