Subject: [PATCH 0/2] x86: use stdout for success and stdout for failure

For some time now my x86 builds are warning free. Yay! But there's still one
single line printed to stderr:
    Succeed: decoded and checked 1767380 instructions

This message is printed if the "insn decoder test" ran successful. Patch 1/2
sends this message to stdout (and fixes the typo).

Patch 2/2 does the reverse for the "insn sanity test": it sends a message to
stderr if that test fails.

One thing puzzles me about these two tests: I must have run them hundreds of
times but I've never seen them fail. Have other people ran into failures?

Paul Bolle (2):
  x86: use stdout if insn decoder test is successful
  x86: use stderr if insn sanity test fails
