If icount has been enabled and we are using the default cflags or
enabled and we have the explicit CF_ICOUNT. The replay exception leg
explicitly disables icount because otherwise we'd never actually execute
the block because we have a budget of 0 cycles left. Previously we ran
that block at the exception handling point - now we fall through and
have to make sure we don't trigger an IRQ.

Or I guess we have an exit_request which hasn't been handled yet but
there is no EXCP_ pending.
