Tweak the xed build process and generate the information for each iform. + - Apply the `patch.diff` to `$XED_SOURCE/pysrc/generator.py` + - Build xed and harvest the `iform-type-dump.txt` + - Copy the `iform-type-dump.txt` to the current folder + +2. run the `parse-iform-types.py` + - It will generate `../x86_intrinsic_input_type.cpp` and `../x86_intrinsic_output_type.cpp`.
