There is also one thing that is annoying me.

With the algorithm you proposed in your patch, you're not able anymore
to raise the MMU_ITLB_MULTIPLE and MMU_DTLB_MULTIPLE exceptions. This
makes the MMU emulation different from the real processor (even if
thoses cases aren't even handled in Linux and probably others OS).

For example you can probably not map the same physical area with
differents virtual page sizes.
