yeah, the parser is *really* slow, it regenerates a lalr parser (because
that was easy, i'm assuming) every time it's constructed for every
instruction, because no one got around to figuring out how to cache it. It
really needs to be rewritten to parse a file at a time instead of an
instruction at a time.

Trying the fp tests now. 33s for 10 tests (oof), they all failed with

iirc that's the message from us reaching into the nmigen simulator's
internal state to get the elapsed simulated time and nmigen changed how
they organize the simulator's internal state.

Here's how I fixed that in the past:
