I really don't like this patch, I'm afraid. I'd rather not have
it in the tree, because it implies that we expect that people
might want to write (or contribute back to us) handcoded test cases.
I don't think we should be encouraging that at all.

I only wrote the test_i386.s and test_arm.s originally because I hadn't
yet written the risugen script and wanted to test the C code I'd written.
Perhaps we should delete them now as being obsolete...
