We can't really split the setup code out since the setup code would have
to rely on one of the ABIs we're trying to test which is all fine and
good until the tests actually help us catch something, we have to build
up knowledge of the values as we go and hope that the cross checking we
end up with helps us at least catch inconsistencies.
