That's a good point. My original intent was to fix the issue with the
TLB mode. Eric pointed out the gains with array approach and I started
thinking about gains in other modes too. So I'll fix the current patch
(remove spinlock if possible and few other minor nits) but will try to
cook another patch to address all modes later. So the TLB issue gets
addressed first.
