The MIPS TCG target makes the assumption that the offset from the
target env pointer to the tlb_table is less than about 64K. This
used to be true, but gradual addition of features to the Arm
target means that it's no longer true there. This results in
the build-time assertion failing:

An ideal long term approach would be to rearrange the CPU state
so that the tlb_table was not so far along it, but this is tricky
because it would move it from the "not cleared on CPU reset" part
of the struct to the "cleared on CPU reset" part. As a simple fix
for the 2.12 release, make the MIPS TCG target handle an arbitrary
offset by emitting more add instructions. This will mean an extra
instruction in the fastpath for TCG loads and stores for the
affected guests (currently just aarch64-softmmu)
