Otherwise the first instruction at the new location gets executed from
the old space.

Without use_nullify_skip(), we're going to execute the next instruction even if we know it 
is nullified (a->n).  This is usually because there's a page crossing or breakpoint, and 
we need to take the exception that might be raised there.

So, we advance the queue:

         copy_iaoq_entry(ctx, cpu_iaoq_f, ctx->iaoq_b, cpu_iaoq_b);
         if (ctx->iaoq_b == -1) {
             tcg_gen_mov_i64(cpu_iasq_f, cpu_iasq_b);
         }

then put the branch destination at the back of the queue:

         copy_iaoq_entry(ctx, cpu_iaoq_b, -1, tmp);
         tcg_gen_mov_i64(cpu_iasq_b, new_spc);

Note that iaoq_b is always -1 on a space change.

So your change does not look correct.
What is the issue that you saw?

I was running the CPU instruction tests from HP Offline Diagnostics, and
some be instruction was ending up in the wrong space. I don't have the
details anymore. I'd say we drop the patch for now and I test it again
later and provide more details.
