c41cbe6d56 Link traces over taken branch optimization which makes handlers chaining even more efficient.
I observed 5% speedup in all disk images over 2.6pre1.
The change is safe (passed all regressions) and I will be glad to make it into Bochs 2.6!

13feb0772a - 10% emulation speedup with handlers chaining optimization implemented. The
feature is enabled by default when configure with --enable-all-optimizations
    option, to disable handlers chaining speedups configure with
        --disable-handlers-chaining

4de76b0571 introduced victim cache for a trace cache structure.
Allows to significantly  cut trace cache miss latenct and find data in victim cahe instead of redoding it

suffers 5-10% less from aliasing in direct map cache array.
