Luke just felt the force. :-)

The key is in exception.S:691 - 699

	st8	[r18]=r21,8		// store pte
	;;
	st8	[r18]=r22,8
	;;
	st8.rel	[r18]=r19		// store new tag
	;;
	itc.i	r21			// and place in TLB
	;; 
	mov	pr=r17,0x1ffff		// restore predicates
	rfi

So the VHPT tables actually get updated inside the exception handler.

Thanks Marcel!

Cheers,

Cherry.
