get_phys_addr and address_space_stl_le don't touch the TLB though?
We could in theory do a get_phys_addr() once per-page rather than
doing it all 8 times though, yes.
But yes, I figured I'd write the straightforward code -- M class
CPU h/w all runs much slower than the host CPU anyway so we
probably have some overhead to play with. If anybody ever
complains maybe we can profile it :-)
