--- Comment #1 from H. Peter Anvin <hpa at zytor.com> ---
No, it should not add an o16 prefix, because this operation is defined as
always being 16 bits, no prefix needed. Declaring it dword is invalid, and
should error.

(strict word *should*, but I don't think it works right now.)

However, "mov ds,[0]" without a size qualifier *must* work; this is a
blocker-class regression.
