My suggestions would be one of:
(a) extend the 'risu' tool
https://git.linaro.org/people/peter.maydell/risu.git/blob/HEAD:/README
to handle x86
(b) look at valgrind's test suite, which is much more comprehensive
than QEMU's is.
NB: neither of these makes any attempt at testing 'system'
instructions, only those which can be used by a userspace
binary.
thanks
