It makes sure that we know the current instruction pointer in case an interrupt
gets delivered for example. There's a hack to not require this for data
protection interrupts, but others might. In general, we need this whenever we
call a helper function that could manually raise an interrupt. helper_store_msr
does this:
void helper_store_msr (target_ulong val)
{
val = hreg_store_msr(env, val, 0);
if (val != 0) {
env->interrupt_request |= CPU_INTERRUPT_EXITTB;
helper_raise_exception(val);
}
}
So it needs to come before any call to gen_helper_store_msr :).

It's a new tcg call that makes the above code a lot easier. Do you want to go
for v3 without changing deposit then? That would be awesome :).
