Add a comment about cache coherency and retranslation, so that people
developping new targets based on existing ones are warned of the issue.

Improve constant loading in two ways:
- On all ARM versions, it's possible to load 0xffffff00 = -0x100 using
the mvn rd, #0. Fix the conditions.
- On <= ARMv6 versions, where movw and movt are not available, load the
constants using mov and orr with rotations depending on the constant
to load. This is very useful for example to load constants where the
low byte is 0. This reduce the generated code size by about 7%.
Also fix the coding style at the same time.

QEMU uses code retranslation to restore the CPU state when an exception
happens. For it to work the retranslation must not modify the generated
code. This is what is currently implemented in ARM TCG.
However on CPU that don't have icache/dcache/memory synchronised like
ARM, this requirement is stronger and code retranslation must not modify
the generated code "atomically", as the cache line might be flushed
at any moment (interrupt, exception, task switching), even if not
triggered by QEMU. The probability for this to happen is very low, and
depends on cache size and associativiy, machine load, interrupts, so the
symptoms are might happen randomly.
This requirement is currently not followed in tcg/arm, for the
load/store code, which basically has the following structure:
1) tlb access code is written
2) conditional fast path code is written
3) branch is written with a temporary target
4) slow path code is written
5) branch target is updated
The cache lines corresponding to the retranslated code is not flushed
after code retranslation as the generated code is supposed to be the
same. However if the cache line corresponding to the branch instruction
is flushed between step 3 and 5, and is not flushed again before the
code is executed again, the branch target is wrong. In the guest, the
symptoms are MMU page fault at a random addresses, which leads to
kernel page fault or segmentation faults.
The patch fixes this issue by avoiding writing the branch target until
it is known, that is by writing only the branch instruction first, and
later only the offset.
This fixes booting linux guests on ARM hosts (tested: arm, i386, mips,
mipsel, sh4, sparc).

On big endian targets, data arguments of qemu_ld/st ops have to be
byte swapped. Two temporary registers are needed for qemu_st to do
the bswap. r0 and r1 are used in system mode, do the same in user
mode, which implies reworking the constraints.

While it make sense to pass a conditional argument to tcg_out_*()
functions as the ARM architecture allows that, it doesn't make sense
for qemu_ld/st functions. These functions use comparison instructions
and conditional execution already, so it is not possible to use a
second level of conditional execution.

There is no need to save the LR register (r14) before a call to a
subroutine. According to the "Procedure Call Standard for the ARM
Architecture", it is the job of the callee to save this register.
Moreover, this register is already saved in the prologue/epilogue.
This patch removes the disabled SAVE_LR code, as there is no need to
reenable later.

Some targets (e.g. Alpha and MIPS64) need to keep 32-bit operands
sign-extended in 64-bit registers (regardless of the "real" sign
of the operand). For that, we need to be able to distinguish
between a 32-bit load with a 32-bit result and a 32-bit load with
a given extension to a 64-bit result. This distinction already
exists for the ld* loads, but not the qemu_ld* loads.
Reserve qemu_ld32u for 64-bit outputs and introduce qemu_ld32 for
32-bit outputs. Adjust all code generators to match.

Since commit 6113d6d316 QEMU crashes
on ARM hosts. This is not a bug of this commit, but a latent bug
revealed by this commit.
The TCG code is called through a procedure call using the prologue
and epilogue code. This code does not save and restore enough registers.
The "Procedure Call Standard for the ARM Architecture" says:
A subroutine must preserve the contents of the registers r4-r8, r10,
r11 and SP (and r9 in PCS variants that designate r9 as v6).
The current code only saves and restores r9 to r11, and misses r4 to
r8. The patch fixes that by saving r4 to r12. Theoretically there is
no need to save and restore r12, but an even number of registers have
to be saved as per EABI.
