addr should be allocated after the undefined instructions
dectection.

This is completely wrong :-)  It should be rewritten
as the code for store that follows.

Missing free of addr.

I won't comment on this function, it lacks too many
undefined detection and some instructions.

Missing free of of tmp before the goto.

The rest is at least OK from a temp leak point of view.

I tested your patch by running translate + TCG code gen
for all of the opcodes in the range e0000000-ffffffff.
For the NEON instructions I had to add correct undefined
detection to let my program process the range (OTOH I
didn't bother fixing the wrong decoding and/or codegen,
I was just doing sanity check on your patch).

Next step is to also do that for Thumb2.  And then run
some real programs.
