The branch target identification extension does not yet have kernel or gcc support. It should be in shape for developing those though.
In system mode I do honor the GP bit from the page tables. In user-only mode, there is a way to pretend that the GP bit is always set. Further linux-user changes will have to track the ABI that gets developed. In the meantime, provide a statically linable make check-tcg test for the functionality.
