Please remove these /4, /16, /jumbo, etc.. in output.
As far as i understood these modifiers don't affect code at all. It's just 
operand size limiters.
I believe smali compiler can automatically add these modifiers at compiling 
stage if needed.

I work with smali code a lot, and often use diff tools. These modifiers produce 
a lot of false differences.

if impossible to remove it permanently for some reason, then may be it's 
possible to add command line option?

I'd rather keep the output as close to the actual bytecode as possible. What 
you describe could be done as a simple transform on the smali files before 
performing the diff.
