Queued to tcg-next, with the extrh fix.

Some of those todos are no longer todos, since e.g. bswap is now optional.
Those asserts should never fire (as a good assert should do, I suppose).

The missing instructions are only for riscv32, which afaik is just now making
its way to glibc.  So a chroot complete enough to build qemu is a ways away.
I'm ok with leaving that incomplete for now.
