Adding such test usually means you go to tests/cputestdata/ directory
and run "./cpu-gather.sh | ./cpu-parse.sh" which will produce several
data files. Then you add a new test case in tests/cputest.c for this new
CPU and regenerate the files with expected results. If you do this
before adding the new feature, the patch which will then add it will
nicely show the new feature gets added into the expected results of the
new CPU test.

Don't forget to install cpuid tool and make sure you have the latest
upstream qemu installed in the system.
