Obviously the patience to scroll down far enough :-).  There may be some
other test.  And I'm not sure what the "Compatibilty:" number means in
the output of SHOW CPU/FULL.

It also may be that the libraries that emulate the byte-oriented
instructions in software have not been removed from V8.4-2L2 and work
just as well on an emulator as any other "native" instruction.
