The patch looks good.
It seems like one other check is required: that the mode of base and
index are the same. We've been accepting either SImode or DImode.
As long as they're both the same we get either
mov (%rax, %rdx, 4), %ebx
mov (%eax, %edx, 4), %ebx
which are both valid insns (without and with addr32 prefix). Whereas
mov (%rax, %edx, 4), %ebx
will correctly be rejected by the assembler.
