Do we need the Avx bit at all?  Currently it is a dup of Unaligned, and
I think we can just reuse Unaligned.  If we see VEX, we just do "ctxt->d
|= Unaligned".

AVX instructions are just tweaks of the operand length and the alignment
restrictions of SSE instructions, there is nothing really special about
them.
