Sigh, didn't notice this was the external list, so I'll elaborate. We
never want to create a non-IPROT entry, as we don't have a TLB miss
handler that will replace entries that have been invalidated. This
will be especially important if we ever run U-Boot inside a virtual
machine. And yes, this means that the current TLB0 usage should go
away as well.
