Yes and no. The problem happens for instance when a LL will not be
followed by the SC. In this situation, the flag will be set for the
page, but might remain set for the rest of the execution (unless a
complete LL/SC in performed later on in the same guest page).

We will clear it adding a new item to the history. When an entry is
added, the oldest is removed and cleaned, solving the problem
mentioned above.
Thank you,
