+Breakpoints missed when a function is split into two memory pages.
+Description of problem:
+Qemu seems to ignore some breakpoints when the start of a function is
+in another page than where the breakpoint is set.
+
+In my case, I've a function `__gnat_debug_raise_exception` which starts at `0x10bff2` and I've set with gdb a breakpoint at `0x10c00e` (in another page).
+While running with `qemu -d in_asm,exec`, I can see that the whole function is executed at once and that no breakpoint is fired.

+Digging a bit more, it seems that it seems related to

+```
+
+Note that if I'm setting another breakpoint at `0x0010bffd` (thus not at the start of the function but still in the same page), the execution
+will be executed step by step and the breakpoint at 0x10c00e will be triggered normally.

+
+I've dug a bit into qemu translator code and I guess `check_for_breakpoint` should check that the whole function is in the same page before skipping step by step. But I'm not sure if it's possible because the TB is created after `check_for_breakpoint` IIUC.
+
+Sadly as of now, I don't have a C reproducer. I can try to provide you my "foo" program which is an Ada program. But maybe if you've a better idea how to reproduce that or an idea of to fix that, I'll be glad to help you.
