The tilegx's way is to define one template for instruction matching, and several other for instruction encoding.

   Ping, could anyone please review this and the other tilegx patches?

   Currently what should I do to make tilegx merged to community repository?

   Another thing is, I have confirmed with the company,  we are willing 
to offer a tilegx buildbot once the backend merged to community repository.

   thanks
