Hi JC,

I think you're right that the issue is not masking enough bits in
EntryHi.  I suspect the other changes are not necessary and I feel
that the change to always add the entry if it doesn't exist is
undesirable if it's unnecessary.  When a lot of otherwise-unused
mappings are changing, this has the effect of spilling the TLB which
kills performance.  I hope someone is willing to try just the
TLBHI_ENTRY changes to make sure that fixes it.

Juli.
