Well, anything that shares implementation with a prefixed instruction
would use the prefixed arg.

I got arg_D within arg_PLD_D using !function and calling
decode_insn32_extract_D. A bit on the ugly side, and probably not
worth the effort. Maybe changing decodetree would help, but that's 
another patch, for another series.

Anyway, my compiler (GCC 9.3) is inlining trans_ADDI calls with -O3, so 
I'd say that your trans_PADDI from the previous message, with trans_ADDI 
and trans_ADDIS using arg_D, would be the cleaner solution.
