[Qemu-devel] [RFC 05/10] target-arm: End TB after ldrex instruction

[Alvise Rigo]

A VCPU executing a ldrex instruction might query flushes to other VCPUs:
in this cases, the calling VCPU uses cpu_exit to exit from the cpu loop
and wait the other VCPUs to perform the flush. In order to exit from the
cpu loop as soon as possible, interrupt the TB after the ldrex
instruction.
