It does at the wrong level. It tries to do it above emulator, but only emulator
knows what is the sate of instruction emulation and when emulation is completed.
If at this point TF is set it inject DB trap. The code above checks if
DB intercept is enabled when DB is injected and calls usual DB intercept
path.
