This set of patches moves global variables to tcg_ctx:
gen_opc_ptr
gen_opparam_ptr
gen_opc_buf
gen_opparam_buf

Build tested for all targets.
Execution tested on Exynos4210 target.

After this patchset was aplied, I noticed 0.7% speed-up of code generation.
Probably, this is due to better data caching.

Here is the test procedure:
1. Boot Linux Kernel 5 times.
2. For each iteration wait while "JIT cycles" is stable for ~10 seconds
3. Write down the "cycles/op"

Here are the results (tested on gcc-4.6):

Before clean-up:
min: 731.5
max: 734.8
avg: 733.0
standard deviation: ~2 ~= 0.2%

Average cycles/op = 733 +- 2



After clean-up:
min: 725.0
max: 730.5
avg: 727.8
standard deviation: ~3 ~= 0.4%

Average cycles/op = 728 +- 3
Speed-up of TCG code generation = 0.7%

Changelog:
v3->v4:
Rebased.
Added target-cris/translate.c: Code style clean-up
v2->v3:
Removed tcg_cur_ctx since it gives slow-down on gcc-4.5.
Rebased.
v1->v2:
Introduced TCGContext *tcg_cur_ctx global to use in those places where we don't
have an interface to pass pointer to tcg_ctx.
Code style clean-up

Evgeny (2):
  tcg/tcg.h: Duplicate global TCG variables in TCGContext
  TCG: Remove unused global variables

Evgeny Voevodin (5):
  target-cris/translate.c: Code style clean-up
  TCG: Use gen_opc_ptr from context instead of global variable.
  TCG: Use gen_opparam_ptr from context instead of global variable.
  TCG: Use gen_opc_buf from context instead of global variable.
  TCG: Use gen_opparam_buf from context instead of global variable.
