Log:
  Install the XTLB exception handler for Sibyte processors.
  
  This is a workaround for the fact that the CFE is compiled as a 64-bit
  application and therefore sets the SR_KX bit every time we call into
  it (for e.g. console).
  
  A TLB miss for any address above 0xc0000000 with the SR_KX bit set will
  end up at the XTLB exception vector. We workaround this by copying the
  standard TLB handler at the XTLB exception vector.
