All that remains (8 instructions) are division, and NEON instructions
that require me to convert the x86 control byte to NEON `TBL` values.
Those handful of instructions can be done later while doing the next
steps (finally something more interesting than just encoding
instructions).
Less than 100 instructions left to implement, with the vast vast
majority being load-and-stores. These will likely be knocked out quickly
but they require a more involved implementation than just simply
translating the instructions (several need multiple instructions, others
may need reserved registers (x16 or x17 are common for this purpose))
This is a good milestone to get something pushed to master.
This PR does the following:
- Designs a mechanism by which arm64 instructions can be encoded and
emitted
- Dispatch our higher-level instruction emitting calls to either x86 or
arm64 instructions depending on what the compiler is set to (defaults to
x86)
- Bare minimum scaffolding to get the arm64 instructions successfully
executing atleast on apple silicon
- Implement enough instructions to get the codetester test suite passing
on arm
