Changes from v1:
* Split into teeny weeny pieces.
* It turns out the sparc_tr_tb_stop hunk of v1 was buggy,
in that things that are not simple branches use DYNAMIC_PC,
e.g. the RETT (return from trap) instruction.
Introduce DYNAMIC_PC_LOOKUP to distinguish the couple of
places where we have a dynamic pc, but no other change
of state (conditional branches, JMPL, RETURN).
* Drop the change for WRFPRS, because it's too infrequent.
The WRASI change affects memcpy/memset, so that's more important.
Boots Mark's sol8 install cdrom. :-)

This probably indicates that cpu_get_tb_cpu_state could be
improved to not consume so much overhead.

Unfortunately that doesn't fix the issue. A quick lunchtime debugging session with
printf() shows this just before the assert() fires:

That makes no sense -- dynamic lookup pc with static npc?
Of course this happens before in_asm dump, so can you use -singlestep to figure out what
pc, and thence instruction for which this is happening?
