However between the event or instruction that sets cpu->halted and requests exit and the assertion here, an asynchronous event could clear cpu->halted. This leads to crashes running AIX on ppc/pseries because it uses H_CEDE/H_PROD hcalls, where H_CEDE sets self->halted =3D 1 and H_PROD sets other cpu->halted =3D 0 and kicks it. H_PROD could be turned into an interrupt to wake, but several other places in ppc, sparc, and semihosting follow what looks like a similar pattern setting halted =3D 0 directly. So remove this assertion.
