            Bug ID: 459
           Summary: create program to test native mul/div instructions on
                    a POWER9 processor (power-instruction-analyzer)
           Product: Libre-SOC's first SoC
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: CONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: ---
         Component: Source Code
          Assignee: programmerjake at gmail.com

The program also has models written in Rust for each implemented instruction.
Those models are accessible through a Python API for use with unit tests of our
processor design without requiring the host processor to be a POWER9 processor
(important because lots of people only have x86 processors and POWER9
processors aren't exactly cheap).
The models must reproduce all results of the POWER9 processor exactly, even if
the OpenPower spec says those particular operations are not defined.
