When instrumenting memory accesses for plugin, we force memory accesses
to use the slow path for mmu [1]. This create a situation where we end
up calling ptw_setl_slow. This was fixed recently in [2] but the issue
still could appear out of plugins use case.
Since this function gets called during a cpu_exec, start_exclusive then
hangs. This exclusive section was introduced initially for security
reasons [3].
I suspect this code path was never triggered, because ptw_setl_slow
would always be called transitively from cpu_exec, resulting in a hang.
