Yes, please see below.

It seems all roads lead to that web-site, I used it as well :)
Today I learned that the following could be used:
echo 'movsx rax,ax' | as -o /dev/null -aln -msyntax=intel -mnaked-reg
Which opens a road to scripting experiments.

I tried all combinations of r0..r9 for 64/32-bit destinations,
32/16/8 sources [1]:
- 0x40 based prefix is generated if any of the following is true:
- dst is 64 bit
- dst is ereg
- src is ereg
- dst is 32-bit and src is 'sil' (part of 'rsi', used for r2)
(!) This one is surprising and web-site shows the same results.
For example `movsx eax,sil` is encoded as `40 0F BE C6`,
disassembling `0F BE C6` (w/o prefix) gives `movsx eax,dh`.
- opcodes:
- 63 64-bit dst, 32-bit src
- 0F BF 64-bit dst, 16-bit src
- 0F BE 64-bit dst, 8-bit src
- 0F BF 32-bit dst, 16-bit src (same as 64-bit dst)
- 0F BE 32-bit dst, 8-bit src (same as 64-bit dst)
Script is at [2] (it is not particularly interesting, but in case if
you want to tweak it).
