The stage0 vm now halts on ALL invalid instructions
Displacements in the Stage0-vm no longer match that of the Knight hardware platform; instead of from the start of the instruction, from the end of the immediate to the target address.
The Stage0-vm has relocated the 2OPI and 1OPI instructions and adjusted their encodings accordingly to simplify instruction size logic.
