the problem is the tlb_probe() r4k_tlb_uniquify(), if the TLB contains
Index: 0 pgmask=4kb va=80000000 asid=00
[pa=00000000 c=0 d=0 v=0 g=0] [pa=00000000 c=0 d=0 v=0 g=0]
Index: 1 pgmask=4kb va=80000000 asid=00

which is coming from the Indy PROM. I only tested this patch on an R5k
Indy and the R5000 CPU doesn't have a problem with this.
I'm working on a fix for this.
