Paging is also disabled during TLBRENTRY exception (see section 6.2.4 Hardware Exception 
Handling of TLB Refil Exception).  It is this routine that will usually use tlbwr most 
often (although the kernel at PRV 0 is not prevented from doing so).

It is not more complex at all.  Less complex, I would say.

static bool trans_invtlb(DisasContext *ctx, arg_invtlb *a)
{
     TCGv rj = gpr_src(ctx, a->rj, EXT_NONE);
     TCGv rk = gpr_src(ctx, a->rk, EXT_NONE);

     if (check_plv(ctx)) {
         return false;
     }

     switch (a->invop) {
     case 0:
     case 1:
         gen_helper_invtlb_all(cpu_env);
         break;
     case 2:
         gen_helper_invtlb_all_g(cpu_env, tcg_constant_i32(1));
         break;
     case 3:
         gen_helper_invtlb_all_g(cpu_env, tcg_constant_i32(0));
         break;
     case 4:
         gen_helper_invtlb_all_asid(cpu_env, rj);
         break;
     case 5:
         gen_helper_invtlb_page_asid(cpu_env, rj, rk);
         break;
     case 6:
         gen_helper_invtlb_page_asid_or_g(cpu_env, rj, rk);
         break;
     default:
         return false;
     }
     ctx->base.is_jmp = DISAS_STOP;
     return true;
}
