Is this really a safe assumption here that we always use this to
translate code addresses and not data addresses? ... I don't think so.
For example with the "gva2gpa" HMP command, I'd rather expect that it
also works with the secondary space mode...?

So maybe we need a proper MemTxAttrs bit or something similar for
distinguishing instruction accesses from data accesses here?
