Other fields could be changed too... I deleted the warn on (see the other thread), but I'm confused by your "shouldn't be modified" statement. The only thing that needs to be set and remain unchanged for register is the virtual start/end address. Everything else should be done once it is clear to proceed based on the collision-retry locking scheme this uses. Basically the range register only setups a 'detector' for colliding invalidations. The other stuff in the struct is just random temporary storage for the API. AFAICS at least..
