Re: can't flush tlb on e500

From: Hideo Saito

How about following changes because all TLB entries are flushed repeatedly if processes overflow at the table mapping the context. I think that the table should be initialized again because _tlbil_pid() flushes all TLB entries and tlbilx instruction isn't supported on E500(MPC8548).
