do_interrupt calls change_pstate, which relies on global register state.
Global register state is only valid when called directly from translated code
or other code that includes exec.h.
You should never call code in op_helper.c from outside that file (or
cpu-exec.h). The easy way to enforce this is to put teh declarations for
functions defined in op_helper.h in exec.h, not helper.h or cpu.h. Failure to
follow this rule results in bugs like the one you've encountered.
helper.h is included multiple times, so should really just contain DEF_HELPER
statements.
