x86 is the more accurate name, as there are non-Intel x86 implementations.

Fixes #263.

Instructions with fixed operands
Some instructions use a fixed register for an operand. This happens on the
Intel ISAs:
x86 ISAs:
- Dynamic shift and rotate instructions take the shift amount in CL.
- Division instructions use RAX and RDX for both input and output operands.

Aliasing registers
Different registers sometimes share the same bits in the register bank.
This can make it difficult to measure register pressure. For example, the
Intel registers RAX, EAX, AX, AL, and AH overlap.
x86 registers RAX, EAX, AX, AL, and AH overlap.
If only one of the aliasing registers can be used at a time, the aliasing
doesn't cause problems since the registers can simply be counted as one
