Thereby decoupling the resulting translated code from the current state
of the system.
The tb->cflags field is not passed to tcg generation functions. So
we add a field to TCGContext, storing there a copy of tb->cflags.
Most architectures have <= 32 registers, which results in a 4-byte hole
in TCGContext. Use this hole for the new field.

We were generating code during tb_invalidate_phys_page_range,
check_watchpoint, cpu_io_recompile, and (seemingly) discarding
the TB, assuming that it would magically be picked up during
the next iteration through the cpu_exec loop.
Instead, record the desired cflags in CPUState so that we request
the proper TB so that there is no more magic.

This will enable us to decouple code translation from the value
of parallel_cpus at any given time. It will also help us minimize
TB flushes when generating code via EXCP_ATOMIC.
Note that the declaration of parallel_cpus is brought to exec-all.h
to be able to define there the "curr_cflags" inline.

If a TB generates too much code, try again with fewer insns.

In order to handle TB's that translate to too much code, we
need to place the control of the length of the translation
in the hands of the code gen master loop.

It's either "GNU *Library* General Public version 2" or "GNU Lesser
General Public version *2.1*", but there was no "version 2.0" of the
"Lesser" library. So assume that version 2.1 is meant here.

Strictly speaking, as far as the standard care, performing pointer
arithmetic on a void* type is ill formed. This is a GNU extension that
allows this. Instead, just use unsigned char* which preserves the same
behavior.
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.
