Romain Naour 4f565b5222 support/testing: use Nehalem cpu emulation for TestGrubX8664EFI
In commit 7e0e6e3b86 (toolchain/toolchain-external/toolchain-external-bootlin:
update to 2023.11-1) the TestGrubX8664EFI fails with this error:

  # efivar -l
  traps: efivar[86] trap invalid opcode ip:7fc187f4c7f4 sp:7fff9bbaa930 error:0 in libefivar.so.1.38[7fc187f4c000+16000]
  Illegal instruction

This error can be reproduced by installing other packages like "file".

The 2023.11-1 Bootlin toolchains are built for a corei7 CPU [0], which
is in fact a Nehalem CPU; we switched to the new names in commit
653fa001f3 (arch/Config.in.x86: add "newer" names for several Intel
x86 CPU variants). This means that the Bootlin toolchains may use
Nehalem-specific instructions.

The TestGrubX8664EFI test is also setup for BR2_x86_corei7, so our
executables will also contain Nehalem instructions.

However, the default Qemu x86_64 is not guaranteed to emulate all the
instructions specific to Nehalem, causing runtime issues as reported
above.

A similar issue has been fixed in toolchain-builder by adding Nehalem
cpu emulation on the qemu command line [0].

[yann.morin.1998@free.fr:
  - reword the commit log to explain corei7 -> Nehalem equivalence
  - note that the toolchain-builder *and* our test target corei7, thus
    Nehalem

README

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
