This seems rather dodgy. 'entry' comes from a static const array which
will, in all likelihood be mapped R/O pretty soon after the initial
CPU bringup. Try offlining/onlining a CPU and you should see a
firework similar to what I have below (I hacked the CnP property, but
that's no different from what you are doing):
