Ok, I think I've found the issue: the following check in the
get_page_addr_code does not work correctly when -1 is in the
addr_code in the QEMU TLB:

if (unlikely(env->tlb_table[mmu_idx][index].addr_code & TLB_RECHECK))

tlb_set_page_with_attrs sets addr_code to -1 in the TLB entry
when the translation is not executable.
