At a high level, only the load and store instructions are selected.
I added a reference to the Appendix F (Opcode maps) in the function
header. The opcode maps is a table of upper x lower values. From
that table it should be fairly straightforward which instructions
are selected.
How about I add this to the function header ?

There are over 100 instructions selected by this list and wasn't
sure if we should list them all.
