Yeah but it would be useful for hash I suppose if one really wants to
boot with nobats. Though at least on hash most of the time we have ways
to recover by mean of MSR:RI being cleared, which your TLB miss code

Well, if you want to pin at least one entry, then just remove the #if
completely but don't leave a #if 1 :-)
Cheers,
