SPRG3 is for use by the operating system for whatever you want... if you
are copying linux code, then you probably indeed want to get that right
but you don't have to use SPRG3.

Hrm.. that has nothing ot do with the PTE. Bolting is more a property of
your replacement algorithm in the TLB miss handler.
