[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 39/39] tcg/arm: Remove mostly unreachable tlb special case

[Richard Henderson <richard.henderson@linaro.org>]

There was nothing armv7 specific about the bic+cmp sequence, however
looking at the set of guests more closely shows that the 8-bit immediate
operand for the bic can only be satisfied with one guest in tree:
baseline m-profile -- 10-bit pages with aligned 4-byte memory ops.
Therefore it does not seem useful to keep this path.
