First things first: it's unclear to me if this is testing stuff that's
already merged, or it's speculative tests for the in-progress prefixed
instruction stuff.  i.e. If these tests are applied right now, will
they pass?

What sort of host was that on?  Unfortunately 'make check-tcg' has
been broken on a POWER host for some time, and I've never had time to
look into it.

Uh... sorta?  I also don't know much about what's going on here, but
I'm probably maintainer by default.
