As the gen_goto_tb function can do both static and dynamic jumps it
should also set the is_jmp field. This matches the behaviour of the
a64 code.

I think DISAS_TB_JUMP is appropriate for both cases.  When not using goto_tb, 
the jump is still static and we still chain to the next TB via goto_ptr.

Otherwise,

OK - I guess we need to nail down what the essential difference is
between the two. I understood DISAS_TB_JUMP as a static known PC which
can be patched in the generated code because we know the two addresses
are in the same page - whereas DISAS_JUMP is a "computed" jump although
in this case the PC is already known.

Does making a distinction between computed and non-computer inter-page
jumps make any sense anyway?

*shrug* probably not.

Honestly, the only thing that's really interesting here is that is_jmp indicate 
that we have already exited the TB and that all following code is dead.

As a response to one of Lluis' threads, I suggested that the generic term for 
this be DISAS_NORETURN.  Which also covers exiting the TB via calling a helper 
that does not return, e.g. throwing an illegal opcode exception, aka DISAS_EXC 
in the current target/arm sources.
