Instrumenting all the tcg_out_* branch related functions do not work
here as the address is actually not known at code generation:
case INDEX_op_goto_tb:
if (s->tb_jmp_offset) {
/* Direct jump method */
s->tb_jmp_offset[args[0]] = tcg_current_code_size(s);
tcg_out_b_noaddr(s, COND_AL);
It is patched later during TB linking.

I already posted a patch a long time ago to remove the 16MB limit on ARM
hosts:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2012-10/msg01684.html
However as you can see in the thread, it has been rejected as it doesn't
not bring improvement in all cases.
