This hack was introduced in issue#287 which later becomes endless maintainance pain.
=====
Our previous check_exit_request use `brcond` in the middle of a TranslationBlock which
breaks the assumptions and thus a hack to liveness_pass_1 is used for _all_ brcond instructions
which causes issues for MIPS and many other scenarios.

This patch also resolves PC not sync-ed when no memory hooks are installed, finally. Now
Unicorn will always have correct PC no matter what happens.
* use hwaddr for paddrs
* Fix the truncation for memory hooks as well
* Add LPAE regression test

* Remove global variable from aarch64 tcg target
This obviously breaks trying to run two unicorn instances at once on
aarch64. It appears a similar variable had already been moved to the
state struct for i386 tcg target.
* Reenable writing to jit region while calling tb_add_jump
On arm macs, every place that writes to jit code needs to have
tb_exec_unlock called first. This is already in most necessary places,
but not this one.
* Don't forget to call restore_jit_state in uc_context_restore
Every time UC_INIT is used, restore_jit_state must be used on the return
path, or occasional assertion failures will pop up on arm macs.
* Restore pc before calling into tlb fill hook
In my application it is important to have correct pc values available
from this hook.
* enable notdirty_write for snapshots when possible
Snapshots only happens when the priority of the memory region is smaller
then the snapshot_level. After a snapshot notdirty can be set.
* disable notdirty_write for self modifying code
When SMC access the memory region more then once the
tb must be rebuild multible times.
fixes#2029
* notdirty_write better hook check
Check all relevant memory hooks before enabling notdirty write.
This also checks if the memory hook is registered for the affected
region. So it is possible to use notdirty write and have some hooks
on different addresses.
* notdirty_write check for addr_write in snapshot case
* self modifying code clear recursive mem access
when self modifying code does unaligned memory accese sometimes
uc->size_recur_mem is changed but for notdirty write not changed back.
This causes mem_hooks to be missed. To fix this uc->size_recur_mem is
set to 0 before each cpu_exec() call.
Every store would always cause the tb_invalidate_phys_page_fast path to be invoked,
amounting to a 40x slowdown of stores compared to loads.
Change this code to only worry about TB invalidation for regions marked as
executable (i.e. emulated executable).
Even without uc_set_native_thunks, this change fixes most of the performance
issues seen with thunking to native calls.

Uses Copy on Write to make it posible to restore the memory state after a snapshot
was made. To restore all MemoryRegions created after the snapshot are removed.
We still need this API because the virtual memory address space of
32 bits os is only 4GB and we default need 1G per instance
