Although, using 'tb->pc' to mark a TB as invalid is probably not such a
good idea. There may be some cases when PC could become equal to -1. For
example, ARMv6-M uses PC >= 0xFFFFFFF0 to perform exception return. So
we'd better introduce a separate 'tb->valid' or 'tb->invalid' flag.
Kind regards,
Sergey
