What would be the result of our hitting this bug? I ask because
there's a report on qemu-discuss about a qemu-i386-on-ARM-host
bug: http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-discuss/2015-11/msg00042.html
and the debug log (http://www.mediafire.com/download/ge611be9vbebbw7/qemu.log)
suggests we're segfaulting in translation on the TB shortly
after we (successfully) translate a TB whose final 'out' size
is 1100 and which has 64 guest writes in it. So I'm wondering
if that's actually the same bug this is fixing...

thanks
