Unicorn CPU emulator framework (ARM, AArch64, M68K, Mips, Sparc, X86)

This brings down the size of the struct from 56 to 32 bytes on 64-bit,
and to 20 bytes on 32-bit. This leads to memory savings:
Before:
$ find . -name 'tcg.o' | xargs size
text data bss dec hex filename
41131 29800 88 71019 1156b ./aarch64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
37969 29416 96 67481 10799 ./x86_64-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
39354 28816 96 68266 10aaa ./arm-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
40802 29096 88 69986 11162 ./arm-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
39417 29672 88 69177 10e39 ./x86_64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
After:
$ find . -name 'tcg.o' | xargs size
text data bss dec hex filename
40883 29800 88 70771 11473 ./aarch64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
37473 29416 96 66985 105a9 ./x86_64-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
38858 28816 96 67770 108ba ./arm-linux-user/tcg/tcg.o
40554 29096 88 69738 1106a ./arm-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
39169 29672 88 68929 10d41 ./x86_64-softmmu/tcg/tcg.o
Note that using an entire byte for some enums that need less than
that wastes a few bits (noticeable in 32 bits, where we use
20 bytes instead of 16) but avoids extraction code, which overall
is a win--I've tested several variations of the patch, and the appended
is the best performer for OpenSSL's bntest by a very small margin:
Before:
$ taskset -c 0 perf stat -r 15 -- x86_64-linux-user/qemu-x86_64 img/bntest-x86_64 >/dev/null

Unicorn Engine
Unicorn is a lightweight, multi-platform, multi-architecture CPU emulator framework based on QEMU.
Unicorn offers some unparalleled features:
- Multi-architecture: ARM, ARM64 (ARMv8), M68K, MIPS, SPARC, and X86 (16, 32, 64-bit)
- Clean/simple/lightweight/intuitive architecture-neutral API
- Implemented in pure C language, with bindings for Crystal, Clojure, Visual Basic, Perl, Rust, Ruby, Python, Java, .NET, Go, Delphi/Free Pascal and Haskell.
- Native support for Windows & *nix (with Mac OSX, Linux, *BSD & Solaris confirmed)
- High performance via Just-In-Time compilation
- Support for fine-grained instrumentation at various levels
- Thread-safety by design
- Distributed under free software license GPLv2
