The check is to make sure that another thread hasn't already done the
same while we were outside of tb_lock. Mention this in a comment.

I think this assert can be dropped. The only call explicitly masks with
TB_EXIT_MASK (which would be a better choice than the number 3 anyway)
so something really strange would have had to happen in the intervening
few lines.

Otherwise:

What about the same assert in tb_gen_code()?

I think in tb_link_page it is reasonable although fairly unlikely that
tb_alloc is going to start spitting out unaligned TranslationBlocks.
