[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 08/19] target/arm: optimize cross-page direct jumps in softmmu

[Richard Henderson <rth@twiddle.net>]

From: "Emilio G. Cota" <cota@braap.org>

Instead of unconditionally exiting to the exec loop, use the
lookup_and_goto_ptr helper to jump to the target if it is valid.

Perf impact: see next commit's log.
