[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] flush TB on singlestep command

[Jun Koi]

(Thanks to Jan for comments on the last patch)

Qemu has a command named singlestep, which reduces the translated code
block to be only one instruction.
However, there is one flaw when this command is triggered via monitor
interface: we do not flush all the current TBs, so we will miss
single-step on already translated code.
This patch fixes the problem by flushing all the TB to force new code
generation.
