This reads a bit weird because we are saying romd isn't a ROM but
something that identifies as RAM can be ROM rather than just a memory
protected piece of RAM.

So at the moment I don't see what the TLB_ROM flag gives us that setting
TLB_INVALID doesn't - either way we won't make the write to our
ram-not-ram-rom.
