I think the implementation of these instructions is completely wrong.

(1a) IHI is not invalidating the cacheline within env->config->itlb,
(1b) IHI is not invalidating the qemu TLB that might contain a copy
     of same.

(2a) IPFL is not locking the entry in env->config->itlb,
(2b) IHU is not unlocking the same entry.
(2c) "Xtensa ISA implementations that do not implement cache locking
     must raise an illegal instruction exception when [IPFL or IHU]
     is executed."
