3.2. Pseudo-Instructions
========================

   Pseudo-instructions are things which, though not real x86 machine
instructions, are used in the instruction field anyway because that's
the most convenient place to put them. The current pseudo-instructions
are `DB', `DW', `DD', `DQ' and `DT', their uninitialised counterparts
`RESB', `RESW', `RESD', `RESQ' and `REST', the `INCBIN' command, the
`EQU' command, and the `TIMES' prefix.
