There is a cache of translated pages, and last I checked (0.8.0 or so) the
entire translation cache was flushed when it filled up, rather than trying to
do any kind of LRU-style thing.
I think of qemu as a processor with a bigger than normal penalty for faulting
executable pages from DRAM into L2. :)
