I just noticed that the fxsave and fxrstor implementations Andreas did
(going by the copyright header in the file) incorrectly assume that the CPU
is in 64 bit mode and save XMM8-15 unconditionally. I'll likely put
together a patch to fix that, but I wanted to mention it here so it didn't
slip

essence the MemTest is only fit for testing false sharing, and that is
what it now does. I do not quite understand what a DMA has to do with any
of that.
Separately we will now have a tester that actually tests
