From: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
If a page table is in IO memory and lookup_tb_ptr probes
the TLB it can result in a page table walk for the instruction
fetch. If this hits IO memory and io_prepare falsely assumes
it needs to do a TLB recompile.
Avoid that by setting can_do_io at the start of lookup_tb_ptr.
