Subject: [PATCH v3 02/17] ARM: add self test for runtime patch mechanism

This patch adds basic sanity tests to ensure that the instruction patching
results in valid instruction encodings.  This is done by verifying the output
of the patch process against a vector of assembler generated instructions at
init time.
