[Qemu-devel] [PULL 07/17] tcg: Put target helper data into an array.

[Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>]

One call inside of a loop to tcg_register_helper instead of hundreds
of sequential calls.

Presumably more icache and branch prediction friendly; resulting binary
size mostly unchanged on x86_64, as we're trading 32-bit rip-relative
references in .text for full 64-bit pointers in .rodata.
