H A Dcputlb.cdiff 04e3aabde397e7abc78ba1ce6cbd144d5fbb1722 Mon Sep 04 09:21:55 CDT 2017 Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org> cputlb: Support generating CPU exceptions on memory transaction failures

Call the new cpu_transaction_failed() hook at the places where
CPU generated code interacts with the memory system:
io_readx()
io_writex()
get_page_addr_code()

Any access from C code (eg via cpu_physical_memory_rw(),
address_space_rw(), ld/st_*_phys()) will *not* trigger CPU exceptions
via cpu_transaction_failed(). Handling for transactions failures for
this kind of call should be done by using a function which returns a
MemTxResult and treating the failure case appropriately in the
calling code.

In an ideal world we would not generate CPU exceptions for
instruction fetch failures in get_page_addr_code() but instead wait
until the code translation process tried a load and it failed;
however that change would require too great a restructuring and
redesign to attempt at this point.
