Yes, and "-cpu Haswell" will enable the BMI extensions.

A review of the code and docs reveals that I missed RORX
from the BMI2 insns, but that's the only one I missed.

Note that I also incorrectly set the overflow flag in
several of the BMI insns.  It ought to be 0, and I currently
set it as if by a standard arithmetic insn.

I can also suggest using "qemu-x86_64" for userland linux
emulation, rather than full system emulation, for testing
something as well-behaved as gmp.  In partiular, the way
memory accesses are translated is significantly faster.

Yes, in the Broadwell shrink.
