Looking at this more, I was wondering if there is something magical
about test_cc(). Both naming and purpose seems to be testing the flags,
but it has a side effect of actually setting the flags too, does
anything rely on that?

That is, we already have code that emulates the condition-codes, might
as well use it here and avoid a bunch of dodgy asm, no?
