Use the raw instruction code and macros to identify memory instructions, extract register fields and also offset. The implementation addresses the D-form, X-form, DS-form instructions. Two main functions are added. New parse function "load_store__parse" as instruction ops parser for memory instructions. Unlike other parsers (like mov__parse), this one fills in the "multi_regs" field for source/target and new added "mem_ref" field. No other fields are set because, here there is no need to parse the disassembled code and arch specific macros will take care of extracting offset and regs which is easier and will be precise. In powerpc, all instructions with a primary opcode from 32 to 63 are memory instructions. Update "ins__find" function to have "raw_insn" also as a parameter.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
