What's the purpose of sending this email to these mailing lists -- who cares about assigning x86 instruction opcodes other than Intel and AMD? Do Linux and binutils need to know about unused x86 opcodes in some way? And even if they did...why do unaffiliated open-source projects need to care about a nonstandard architecture extension from a company so secretive about it they won't even name themselves?
