This topic is widely completed here (well... @work), just MMX/SSE
operations are missing (the customer doesn't use it) - and, of course,
all those corner cases I surely oversaw. As those checks do not make
things immediately faster, I added a switch so that you can turn them on
when starting qemu.

Haven't tried to reapply the patch, but I'm afraid some rebase work is
now required. Would it make sense to start this soon, or do you plan
further TCG rework in the near future?
