Apparently not :-)

I just checked if it still applies, and it doesn't. Checking why I ran 
into the following strangeness in target-ppc/translate.c:gen_goto_tb() 
which appeared during the TCG migration:

  ..
  if ((tb->pc & TARGET_PAGE_MASK) == (dest & TARGET_PAGE_MASK) &&
     !ctx->singlestep_enabled) {
  ..
  } else {
    gen_set_T1(dest);
#if defined(TARGET_PPC64)
    if (ctx->sf_mode)
      gen_op_b_T1_64();
     else
#endif
      gen_op_b_T1();
    if (ctx->singlestep_enabled)
      gen_op_debug()
  }

It seems to me that the second if (ctx->singlestep_enabled) is 
rendundant.

I'll see if I can find some time to see if the patch is still needed 
and if so, update it to the current HEAD.

Thanks
Marius
