Title:
  Program counter is wrong when re-enter tb_find_fast  in SH4 CPU

Status in QEMU:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi:

  Recently, I use qemu-system-sh4 to emulate my legacy program (SH3).
  But it goes wrong. After trace, I find when re-enter tb_find_fast function in 
file cpu-exec.c.
  CPU program counter will be different with previous one.

  In cpu-exec.c file, function tb_find_fast(env).
  First, it will check whether the program counter address is in hash table.
  (Mostly, jump address is in same hash entry. So it works normally.)
  if yes, then execute tb_find_slow, then goes into decode...etc.
  Otherwise, return NULL. (which is got from tb_jmp_cache.)
  When first time, tb_find_fast return NULL.
  Then in infinite loop in upper subroutine will call tb_find_fast again.
  In 2nd time, the PC will be changed, different with previous one.
  Then program goes wrong. At the end, it causes a forever loop in top-level.
  Never goes into low-level function gen_intermediate_code_internal in file 
target-sh4/translate.c

  Best Regards
  S.P.Lu
