> 1) changes to the ALUs
> 2) the new SimdSignal

by moving the scalar-emulation to a util function there are 3 tests
that can be done. actually, 4:

1) existing scalar
2) scalar-emulation
3) SIMD with elwidth=0b00
4) SIMD with other elwidths (vs scalar with an equivalent XLEN)

this last one will be fun / interesting, and justifies doing scalar
XLEN=32/16/8 HDL, fascinatingly.

so, please don't *delete* the scalar-emulation, move it to a util function
that can ve used during establishing PSpec at runtime/config.
should be very interesting and useful.
