tb_reset_jump_recursive.
What "inline caching" means? When it's a conditional branch, the
branch target is fixed, and here comes the direct block chaining.
There is another dynamic translation technique called IBTC (indirect
branch translation cache) for indirect branch which has no fixed
branch target. But QEMU doesn't has IBTC. Could you please explain
what "inline caching" is?
