@noargs is useless, even as documentation, since by its omission there are no
arguments.

Also, "the unused fields in the FENCE instruction, imm[11:8], rs1, and rd, are
reserved for finer-grain fences in future extensions. For forward
compatibility, base implementations shall ignore these fields, and standard
software shall zero these fields."

Therefore "-" not "0" in the relevant portions.  And for clarity I would simply
fold it all together as

fence   ---- pred:4 succ:4 ----- 000 ----- 0001111
fence_i ---- ----   ----   ----- 001 ----- 0001111

Or just use "@i", which is the underlying format and ignore the rs1 and rd
fields in the trans_ expanders, and pull pred+succ out of imm there.
