Great news on another DRLVM port! Having a common test suite of VM
unit tests would be useful for MRP [1], is there/could we create one
under Harmony? I'm thinking of tests like all the integer/long divide
corner cases and floating point remainder. I'd love to know a test
case where Intel's partial remainder actually needs to go around more
than once to produce the correct result.

Regards,
Ian
