I don't think using the name modrm_ea is good for explicit encoding, so I add
this. But I am think of is it better to be in decode_cache?

But we mark implicit encoding instructions as "ImplicitOps", so only explicit
ones should get here. And my former patch deal with the implicit ones, and
modrm_ea has priority to memop, so I think it's OK.
Maybe add a judgment of modrm_ea here is better.

I need this for following insn_fetch(). And movzx/movsx is marked as DstReg,
so they won't get here.
