That's pretty interesting, since the Software Emulation trap is
caused by fetching trash from memory, and the MMU changes are to
properly track dirty data pages. I don't buy it. All you did
by adding these changes was eliminate (or change) the data TLB
miss timing. Have you ever looked at the 8xx bus when it gets
a TLB fault? Pretty damn weird. I've seen several external devices
not behave properly because of this.

Well, almost 100% doesn't cut it for me. If you can't determine the
actual cause of the problem and prove it has been corrected, it is
still broken.
