Can't truly review that low-level instruction decoding logic (and you seem to have found an issue yourself), but superficially the cases that are claimed to be handled seem like legit no-op instructions. And the overall logic of nop handling in can_optimize and emulation seems to be intact as well. Thanks for generalizing all this!
