	Actually it means that instructions are 1 to five WORDS in length
	as odd number of bytes is not allowed.

	One word is two bytes but it can't be generalized.

	In 68020 (030/040) move with two memory indexed operands is
	upto 11 words in length. (opcode + extension + 32 bit disp +
	32 bit disp + extension + 32 bit disp + 32 bit disp).
