I am sure you have testcases, no?  For new features please make them
dg-do run ones by checking correctness.

You are probably talking about the need for specific HW features?
We have dg-requires-effective-target FOO where IIRC there are
ones that enable extra options for compilation (look for avx-runtime
or so for example).
