In theory they should be the same. What do you think is different?
in practice the x86-64 version returns "success" if there is one byte in the entire

of another type.
I would consider that a bug. Please send fix.
I'm less sure. It's what the function does, and I can see very valid usage models for it;
to detect that a certain type is NOT present. And the code is clearly written with that goal
in mind at least. I'm tempted to write a real range function but I also was hoping to avoid
doing that, since for the MCFG test it really is a bit overkill.
