If we have no common ground on how the port should look, then we simply cannot
move forward full stop.

Having put together a foundation of AArch64Insn and tcg_fmt_*, that I believe
to be clean and easy to understand, I simply refuse on aesthetic grounds to
rewrite later patches to instead use the magic number and open-coded insn
format used throughout the port today.  That way leads to a much greater chance
of error in my opinion.
