[fpc-devel] BMI2 instructions implemented

[J. Gareth Moreton]

 Hi Florian,
 Sorry for not quite seeing where my mistake was or what was changed. 
Admittedly the operator order does always catch me out and I'm not certain
of the ordering when there are 3 operands.  Can you enlighten me so I
don't mess up in future?
 Gareth aka. Kit
 P.S. I thought I got it right when comparing the disassembly to other
sources.

 Thanks, applied (with some fixes though, operand order in x86ins.dat is
Intel assembler style, except for the operands 
 in the change information though).
