              only load the lower 8 bit of the specified register
              the rest of the register can be undefined
              if  necessary the compiler will call a method
              to zero or sign extend the register
            * The a_load_XX_XX with OP_64 needn't to be
              implemented for 32 bit
              processors, the code generator takes care of that
            * the addr size is for work with the natural pointer
              size
            * the procedures without fpu/mm are only for integer usage
            * normally the first location is the source and the
              second the destination
