  Change 221534 by rwatson at rwatson_zenith_cl_cam_ac_uk on 2013/01/27 16:05:30
  
          FreeBSD/mips stores page-table entries in a near-identical format
          to MIPS TLB entries -- only it overrides certain "reserved" bits
          in the MIPS-defined EntryLo register to hold software-defined bits
          (swbits) to avoid significantly increasing the page table memory
          footprint.  On n32 and n64, these bits were (a) colliding with
          MIPS64r2 physical memory extensions and (b) being improperly
          cleared.
  
          Attempt to fix both of these problems by pushing swbits further
          along 64-bit EntryLo registers into the reserved space, and
          improving consistency between C-based and assembly-based clearing
          of swbits -- in particular, to use the same definition.  This
          should stop swbits from leaking into TLB entries -- while ignored
          by most current MIPS hardware, this would cause a problem with
          (much) larger physical memory sizes, and also leads to confusing
          hardware-level tracing as physical addresses contain unexpected
          (and inconsistent) higher bits.

- * other 0 fields.
+ * FreeBSD/mips page-table entries take a near-identical format to MIPS TLB
+ * entries, each consisting of two 32-bit or 64-bit values ("EntryHi" and
+ * "EntryLo").  MIPS4k and MIPS64 both define certain bits in TLB entries as
+ * reserved, and these must be zero-filled by software.  We overload these
+ * bits in PTE entries to hold  PTE_ flags such as RO, W, and MANAGED.
+ * However, we must mask these out when writing to TLB entries to ensure that
+ * they do not become visible to hardware -- especially on MIPS64r2 which has
+ * an extended physical memory space.
+ *
+ * When using n64 and n32, shift software-defined bits into the MIPS64r2
+ * reserved range, which runs from bit 55 ... 63.  In other configurations
+ * (32-bit MIPS4k and compatible), shift them out to bits 29 ... 31.
+ *
+ * NOTE: This means that for 32-bit use of CP0, we aren't able to set the top
+ * bit of PFN to a non-zero value, as software is using it!  This physical
+ * memory size limit may not be sufficiently enforced elsewhere.
