While at it, use int for both num_insns and max_insns to make
sure we have same-type comparisons.

In icount mode, instructions that access io memory spaces in the middle
of the translation block invoke TB recompilation. After recompilation,
such instructions become last in the TB and are allowed to access io
memory spaces.
When the code includes instruction like i386 'xchg eax, 0xffffd080'
which accesses APIC, QEMU goes into an infinite loop of the recompilation.
This instruction includes two memory accesses - one read and one write.
After the first access, APIC calls cpu_report_tpr_access, which restores
the CPU state to get the current eip. But cpu_restore_state_from_tb
resets the cpu->can_do_io flag which makes the second memory access invalid.
Therefore the second memory access causes a recompilation of the block.
Then these operations repeat again and again.
This patch moves resetting cpu->can_do_io flag from
cpu_restore_state_from_tb to cpu_loop_exit* functions.
It also adds a parameter for cpu_restore_state which controls restoring
icount. There is no need to restore icount when we only query CPU state
without breaking the TB. Restoring it in such cases leads to the
incorrect flow of the virtual time.
In most cases new parameter is true (icount should be recalculated).
But there are two cases in i386 and openrisc when the CPU state is only
queried without the need to break the TB. This patch fixes both of
these cases.

We are still seeing signals during translation time when we walk over
a page protection boundary. This expands the check to ensure the host
PC is inside the code generation buffer. The original suggestion was
to check versus tcg_ctx.code_gen_ptr but as we now segment the
translation buffer we have to settle for just a general check for
being inside.
I've also fixed up the declaration to make it clear it can deal with
invalid addresses. A later patch will fix up the call sites.

A mistake in the type passed to sizeof, that happens to work
when the out-of-line fallback itself is using host vectors,
but fails when using only the base types.
Backports commit 6cb1d3b8517572031a22675280ec642972cdb395 from qemu
Function cpu_handle_interrupt calls cc->cpu_exec_interrupt to process
pending hardware interrupts. Under the hood cpu_exec_interrupt uses
cpu->exception_index to pass information to the internal function which
is usually common for exception and interrupt processing.
But this value is not reset after return and may be processed again
by cpu_handle_exception. This does not happen due to overwriting
the exception_index at the end of cpu_handle_interrupt.
But this branch may also overwrite the valid exception_index in some cases.
Therefore this patch:
1. resets exception_index just after the call to cpu_exec_interrupt
2. prevents overwriting the meaningful value of exception_index

The header is only used by accel/tcg/cputlb.c so we can
move it to the accel/tcg/ folder, too.

Rather than have a separate buffer of 10*max_ops entries,
give each opcode 10 entries. The result is actually a bit
smaller and should have slightly more cache locality.
