include/exec/exec-all: document common exit conditions

Browse Source 
As a precursor to later patches attempt to come up with a more
concrete wording for what each of the common exit cases would be.

/* is_jmp field values */
/* DisasContext is_jmp field values
*
* is_jmp starts as DISAS_NEXT. The translator will keep processing
* instructions until an exit condition is reached. If we reach the
* exit condition and is_jmp is still DISAS_NEXT (because of some
* other condition) we simply "jump" to the next address.
* The remaining exit cases are:
*
* DISAS_JUMP - Only the PC was modified dynamically (e.g computed)
* DISAS_TB_JUMP - Only the PC was modified statically (e.g. branch)
*
* In these cases as long as the PC is updated we can chain to the
* next TB either by exiting the loop or looking up the next TB via
* the loookup helper.
*
* DISAS_UPDATE - CPU State was modified dynamically
*
* This covers any other CPU state which necessities us exiting the
* TCG code to the main run-loop. Typically this includes anything
* that might change the interrupt state.
*
* Individual translators may define additional exit cases to deal
* with per-target special conditions.
