[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] accel/tcg/cputlb: avoid recursive BQL (fixes #1706296)

[Alex Bennée]

The mmio path (see exec.c:prepare_mmio_access) already protects itself
against recursive locking and it makes sense to do the same for
io_readx/writex. Otherwise any helper running in the BQL context will
assert when it attempts to write to device memory as in the case of
the bug report.
