I don't there's any test that could be done using the existing instructions. The
aliasing change is needed for the REV64 alias of the REV instruction
(https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-11/msg00222.html) patch. That includes tests
that check that the instruction REV is preferred over its aliases so are also a test
of this patch (which should probably have been sent as part of the BFM, REV patch set).
