[PATCH v2 00/93] TCI fixes and cleanups

[Richard Henderson]

Almost 7 years ago I detailed 5 major problems in tci[1], of
which three still remain:

  * Unaligned accesses to the bytecode stream, which means
    that we immediately SIGBUS on any host requiring alignment.
  * Non-portable calls to helper functions.
  * Full of useless ifdefs and TODOs.

To my mind, this means the code is unmaintained, despite what it
says in MAINTAINERS.  Thus tci *should* be simply removed.
However, every time removal is suggested, someone comes out of the
woodwork and says we should keep it, because it's useful for $FOO.

Anyway, if we're not going to remove tci, then we have to fix it.

Previously, I rewrote tci all in one lump.  Which was obviously a
mistake, since it meant that the patch was never going to get
reviewed.  This time I've done the rewrite in tiny pieces.

Previously, I invented a moderately complex encoding scheme that
allowed any operand to encode a register or an int32_t immediate.
This time the encoding is quite simple: with only 4 exceptions
all operands encoded into 4-bit slots (registers & conditions).
I rely on the new TEMP_CONST optimization to do a decent job of
loading an immediate value into a register once (via movi), and
reusing that across the TB.

There is a disassembler built into tcg/tci.c, replacing the stub
in disas/tci.c, which reuses the same decoding helpers that are
used by the interpreter.  So finally -d out_asm is useful.

This is good enough to pass make check check-tcg with all of the
docker cross-compilers enabled.  I can boot linux with aarch64,
alpha, and s390x guests.
