Emilio G. Cota 2d16da435e target/i386: optimize indirect branches ... Speed up indirect branches by jumping to the target if it is valid. Softmmu measurements (see later commit for user-mode numbers): Note: baseline (i.e. speedup == 1x) is QEMU v2.9.0. - SPECint06 (test set), x86_64-softmmu (Ubuntu 16.04 guest).
