Is it really needed to have the leading 0x ?

And is there a reason for that two 0x00000000 at the end of the new line 
that we don't have at the end of the old line ?

This is initially split into 8 instructions per line in order to fit in 
a 80 columns screen/terminal.

Could you make it such that it still fits within 80 cols ?

Same for patch 4 on show_user_instructions()
