Umm.

It obviously shows that an exception (maybe TLB miss) happens
during _cpu_exception_suspend(), which causes reboot immediately.

I don't know if such TLB miss allowed during updating TLB
in sh3_tlb_*() functions, but anyway it can not be blocked
and maybe the problem on dreamcast was caused by interrupt
during sh4_tlb_*() functions, which can be blocked.

How about to use _cpu_intr_suspend()/_cpu_intr_resume(s)
instead of _cpu_exception_*()?
(or it's better to remove them from mmu_sh3.c?)
