Nice analysis!

Too complicated. The fault is happening because the non-SMTC code is trying
to be terribly clever and pre-loading the TLB with a new wired entry. On
SMTC where multiple processors are sharing a single TLB are more careful
approach is needed so the code does a TLB probe and carefully and re-uses
an existing entry, if any. Which happens to be just what we need.
So how about below - only compile tested - patch?
