Something like "we don't have an instruction that can do that"...
Valid addresses are of the general form
address:=
'[' base-reg ']'
| '[' base-reg ',' offset ']'
| '[' base-reg ',' offset-reg ',' addr-scale-op ']'
The base register is mandatory, the scale can only be applied when there
is both a base and an offset which is a register.
