Why are the locking rules different for CONFIG_USER versus system
emulation? Looking at the final tree:
> tb = tb_find_fast(env);
this eventually ends up doing a tb_lock on the find_slow path which IIRC
is when might end up doing the actual code generation.

I wonder if it would be better splitting the patches:
- Convert tb spinlocks to use tb_lock
- i386: convert lock helpers to QemuMutex
before the final
- Remove spinlocks
