Actually I don't know how to fully test each intruction. 

To the best of my knowledge, the Octeon Instruction is optimized for networking security/application processor.

And the latest reference manual is not public available. (https://dokumen.tips/documents/cavium-networks-octeon-plus-cn50xx-hardware-2008-cavium-networks-octeon-plus.html?page=1 )

I find the Instruction specification from Marvell's toolchain and Vargrind's vex ir translation (https://sourceware.org/git/?p=valgrind.git;a=blob;f=VEX/priv/guest_mips_toIR.c;h=1285edad0b83b0f0a6b21fc63d2235d50f94d204;hb=HEAD#l2909)

I have successfully emulated an ELF binary compiled for Cavium (Marvell) on x86 architecture.

Can you help or give me some suggestions about testing?

Best
