I'm told the TLB Shutdown bit in the R4000 is basically implemented as an
overcurrent protection. That is on many chips even a hit on several
entries won't cause a tlb shutdown until the matches do result in the
TLB drawing more than a certain current.
A tlbp on a KSEG0 address shouldn't happen. If it's attempted we already
have worse problems.
