Hi,

While emulating a small MMU-less CRIS system I ran into an -icount
related problem. Without icount the emulation runs fine, with icount
I get stuff like:

qemu: fatal: cpu_io_recompile: could not find TB for pc=0x4be7fd

IIUC, there is a recursion bug in the slow_ldx() calls that ends
up clobbering retaddr. Later if the TB is aborted on the IO
access, the code to map retaddr into guest PC fails to even find
a TB because retaddr wrongly points to slow_ldx().

It seems to me like we simply shouldn't be touching retaddr
in slow_ldx().

The following patch fixes the problem for me. slow_st() was
AFAICS already OK.

Comments?

Cheers

    softmmu: Dont clobber retaddr in slow_ldx().
    
    When splitting up unaligned IO accesses, ld calls slow_ld which was
    clobbering retaddr.
    
    AFAIK the problem only shows up when running emulations with -icount
    that may abort TB execution on IO accesses.
