[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 07/12] cpus: move icount preparation out of tcg_exec_cpu

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

As icount is only supported for single-threaded execution due to the
requirement for determinism let's remove it from the common
tcg_exec_cpu path.

Also remove the additional fiddling which shouldn't be required as the
icount counters should all be rectified as you enter the loop.

v2
  - only clear u16.low
  - drop BQL assert
