I really appreciate you finding the bug, great job.

When auipc + jalr -> nop, is safe, right? Because when switched back,
jalr -> nop.
When nop -> auipc + jalr, is buggy, right? Because when switched back,
nop -> jalr, the ra's value is not expected.

Some machines with instruction fusion won't be affected, because they
would merge auipc + jalr into one macro-op.
Qemu shouldn't be broken, because auipc + jalr is always in the same
tcg block, so no chance for interruption between them.

But anyway, we need to fix it.
