I've run into the problem, that this doesn't work for instructions which have 
variadic arguments like Push and Pop on ARM/Thumb. There is currently no way 
to tell if the registers beginning with getNumOperands()-2 are 'ins' or 
'outs'.

I don't know about your specific case, but these are often flags (for 
conditional execution, addressing specification etc.). They might show as 
suffixes on the instruction name in the assembly.
