To generate load and store operations, tcg_gen_qemu_{ld,st}*() are now
used.  See tcg/README for more information on TCG ops.

In tcg/*/tcg-target.c, you'll find tcg_out_qemu_{ld,st}().  The easiest
way to do this would probably be to place your printfs in __ld_mmu() and
__st_mmu() (which are defined via softmmu_template.h), and remove the
TLB lookups from tcg_out_qemu_{ld,st}() so that your tracing code is
always called.

Instead of modifying tcg_out_qemu_{ld,st}(), you might also be able to
bypass it entirely, by using having tcg_gen_qemu_{ld,st}*() generate
calls to a helper function.
