+all globals are stored at their canonical location and it is assumed
+that the function can modify them. This can be overriden by the
+TCG_CALL_CONST function modifier. By default, the helper is allowed to
+modify the CPU state or raise an exception. This can be overriden by
+the TCG_CALL_PURE function modifier, in which case the call to the
+function is removed if the return value is not used.
 
 On some TCG targets (e.g. x86), several calling conventions are
 supported.
