We don't have any explicit tests for the core TCG although it would be
nice to have some to exercise and test the optimiser.

We do have a bunch of linux-user and system tests in ./tests/tcg which
include generic multiarch tests which compile on most targets as well as
guest specific tests under the appropriate directory. The coverage is a
little ad-hoc but at least new features often come a basic smoke test.
