Agreed. "target arch supports aarch64" is a compile time thing --
compare use of TARGET_X86_64 vs CODE64() in target-i386.
So there are actually three different kinds of check here:
* TARGET_AARCH64 (or whatever we're using as the #define)
-- indicates whether this CPU supports 64 bit mode
* a function that tests env to see if we're currently
running in 64 bit mode
* testing the DisasContext to see whether we're currently
translating for 64 or 32 bit [which is something to
initialize from the tb* at the top of
gen_intermediate_code_internal]
-- PMM
