Comment on x86 architecture 1 byte opcodesparent

Comments

They're one byte opcodes, but not one byte ops. Most of them have operands which are encoded in a ModRM byte which follows the opcode. The ModRM may be followed by a SIB byte, and that may be followed by a a variable size immediate|displacement. There are also optional prefixes to the opcode.
