[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 04/10] tcg: Init TB's direct jumps before making it visible

[Sergey Fedorov]

From: Sergey Fedorov <address@hidden>

Initialize TB's direct jump list data fields and reset the jumps before
tb_link_page() puts it into the physical hash table and the physical
page list. So TB is completely initialized before it becomes visible.

This is pure rearrangement of code to a more suitable place, though it
could be a preparation for relaxing the locking scheme in future.
