Allocating an arbitrarily-sized array of tbs results in either
(a) a lot of memory wasted or (b) unnecessary flushes of the code
cache when we run out of TB structs in the array.
An obvious solution would be to just malloc a TB struct when needed,
and keep the TB array as an array of pointers (recall that tb_find_pc()
needs the TB array to run in O(log n)).
Perhaps a better solution, which is implemented in this patch, is to
allocate TB's right before the translated code they describe. This
results in some memory waste due to padding to have code and TBs in
separate cache lines--for instance, I measured 4.7% of padding in the
used portion of code_gen_buffer when booting aarch64 Linux on a
host with 64-byte cache lines. However, it can allow for optimizations
in some host architectures, since TCG backends could safely assume that
the TB and the corresponding translated code are very close to each
other in memory. See this message by rth for a detailed explanation:

Instead of exporting goto_ptr directly to TCG frontends, export
tcg_gen_lookup_and_goto_ptr(), which calls goto_ptr with the pointer
returned by the lookup_tb_ptr() helper. This is the only use case
we have for goto_ptr and lookup_tb_ptr, so having this function is
very convenient. Furthermore, it trivially allows us to avoid calling
the lookup helper if goto_ptr is not implemented by the backend.

The C store helper functions take the address argument as a
target_ulong type; if this is 32 bit but the host is 64 bit
then the SPARC calling convention requires that the caller
must zero extend the value. We weren't doing this, which
meant we could pass values to the caller with high bits set
and QEMU would crash if it was compiled with optimizations.
In particular, the i386 BIOS would not start.

This enables the multi-threaded system emulation by default for ARMv7
and ARMv8 guests using the x86_64 TCG backend. This is because on the
guest side:
- The ARM translate.c/translate-64.c have been converted to
- use MTTCG safe atomic primitives
- emit the appropriate barrier ops
- The ARM machine has been updated to
- hold the BQL when modifying shared cross-vCPU state
- defer powerctl changes to async safe work
All the host backends support the barrier and atomic primitives but
need to provide same-or-better support for normal load/store
operations.

As a result MTTCG will default to off unless the combination is

The ISA manual documents the output is undefined if the input was zero.
However, we document in target-i386 that the behavior of real silicon
is to preserve the contents of the output register. We also mention
that there are real applications that depend on this. That this is
baked into silicon is mentioned as a potential cause for some false
sharing behaviour wrt lzcnt/tzcnt.
Taking advantage of this allows us to save 2 insns in the normal case,
and 4 insns for i686 emulating a 64-bit clz.
