All of the sudden, besides .text and .rodata and alike, an always
present .note.gnu.property section has appeared. This section, when
converting to binary format output, gets placed according to its
linked address, causing the resulting blobs to be about 128Mb in size.
The resulting headers with a C representation of the binary blobs then
are, of course all a multiple of that size (and take accordingly long
to create). I didn't bother waiting to see what size the final
test_x86_emulator binary then would have had.
See also https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27753.
Rather than figuring out whether gas supports -mx86-used-note=, simply
remove the section while creating *.bin.

Users of EMBEDDED_EXTRA_CFLAGS already use -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables, or
ought to. This shrinks the size of the rombios 32bit stubs in guest memory.

These are all VEX encoded, so the EVEX decoding logic continues to
remain unused at this point.
The new testcase is deliberately coded in assembly, as a C one would
have become almost unreadable due to the overwhelming amount of
__builtin_...() that would need to be used. After all the compiler has
no underlying type (yet) that could be operated on without builtins,
other than the vector types used for "normal" SIMD insns.
Note that outside of 64-bit mode and despite the SDM not currently
saying so, VEX.W is ignored for the KMOV{D,Q} encodings to/from GPRs,
just like e.g. for the similar VMOV{D,Q}.

Both the build logic and the invocation have their blowfish specific
aspects abstracted out here. Additionally
- run native execution (if suitable) first (as that one failing
suggests a problem with the to be tested code itself, in which case
having the emulator have a go over it is kind of pointless)
- move the 64-bit tests up in blobs[] so 64-bit native execution will
also precede 32-bit emulation (on 64-bit systems only of course)
- instead of -msoft-float (we'd rather not have the compiler generate
such code), pass -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables and -g0 (reducing
binary size of the helper images as well as [slightly] compilation
time)
- skip tests with zero length blobs (these can result from failed
compilation, but not failing the build in this case seems desirable:
it may allow partial testing - e.g. with older compilers - and
permits manually removing certain tests from the generated headers
without having to touch actual source code)
- constrain rIP to the actual blob range rather than looking for the
specific (fake) return address put on the stack
- also print the opcode when x86_emulate() fails
- print at least three progress dots (for relatively short tests)
