Backport fix from qemu mainline for intermediate qemuarm64 hang
issue. Root caused in OE environment, issue with aarch64 qemu
logic of executing instructions that reenabe interrupts. See patch
commit message for more details.

+Subject: [PATCH] arm/translate-a64: treat DISAS_UPDATE as variant of
+ DISAS_EXIT
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+In OE project 4.15 linux kernel boot hang was observed under
+single cpu aarch64 qemu. Kernel code was in a loop waiting for
+vtimer arrival, spinning in TC generated blocks, while interrupt
+was pending unprocessed. This happened because when qemu tried to
+handle vtimer interrupt target had interrupts disabled, as
+result flag indicating TCG exit, cpu->icount_decr.u16.high,
+was cleared but arm_cpu_exec_interrupt function did not call
+arm_cpu_do_interrupt to process interrupt. Later when target
+reenabled interrupts, it happened without exit into main loop, so
+following code that waited for result of interrupt execution
+run in infinite loop.
+
+To solve the problem instructions that operate on CPU sys state
+(i.e enable/disable interrupt), and marked as DISAS_UPDATE,
+should be considered as DISAS_EXIT variant, and should be
+forced to exit back to main loop so qemu will have a chance
+processing pending CPU state updates, including pending
+interrupts.
+
+This change brings consistency with how DISAS_UPDATE is treated
+in aarch32 case.
