kmemcheck: add opcode self-testing at boot
We've had some troubles in the past with weird instructions. This patch adds a self-test framework which can be used to verify that a certain set of opcodes are decoded correctly. Of course, the opcodes which are not tested can still give the wrong results. In short, this is just a safeguard to catch unintentional changes in the opcode decoder. It does not mean that errors can't still occur! [rebased for mainline inclusion] Signed-off-by: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@gmail.com>
