[PATCH 0/6] x86: misc testsuite reverts plus fallout thereof

Over time a number of choices I've made in testcases have been
"corrected", because of causing problems for certain targets.
The underlying issues, however, were never investigated. I've
finally taken the time to do so in two of the cases, which
interestingly has lead to fixing long-standing yet at the first
glance unrelated bugs (or shortcomings, if you like).

Note that patch 5 is a change to common gas code; I'll try to
remember to Cc a few presumably relevant people when sending
out that one.

1: x86: enable more ELF tests for VxWorks
2: Revert "x86: Replace evex-no-scale.s with evex-no-scale-[32|64].s"
3: x86: honor absolute section when emitting code
4: x86: revert ELF related part of "x86: Update assembler tests for non-ELF targets"
5: gas: generalize comment character escaping recognition
6: x86: handle SVR4 escaped binary operators
