Description of the change
Test case to stress CPU integer and floating point paths. It also exercises CPU path that deals with data and text cache misses. On ARMHF this test was able to cause the CPU core temperature to rise to 50c and a power draw of 13.70Watts.

Hi Manoj,
This may be more specialized than the stress test we're currently using (apt-get install stress), however I'd like to confirm with you that the existing stress program is unsuitable for this purpose. This is because when possible, we prefer to rely on existing packages since then the maintenance burden on checkbox is reduced.
Have you tried the stress program I mentioned? if so, what problems do you see with it? is it something unsolvable, or something that we could solve by tweaking e.g. command-line parameters?
