I don't agree that some of these are necessary universally
valued. For example,
g Port does not define TARGET_ASM_FUNCTION_(PRO|EPI)LOGUE.
See mmix.c.

These would be nice to have in simtest-howto.html, but without
any interpretation of value.

Aren't those two exclusive in a "non-r" port?

(The I is for the port, not the hardware.
Similarly the D; that's what the port;
the hardware is neutral.)
Regarding:
S A Free simulator exists.
I think a related important point is whether drop-in support for

Compare simtest-howto.html.
