Please see section 6.11.4.8 in the PowerISA 2.06b:

MMU behavior is largely unaffected by whether the thread is in 32-bit computation mode (MSRCM=0) or 64- bit computation mode (MSRCM=1). The only differ- ences occur in the EPN field of the TLB entry and the EPN field of MAS2. The differences are summarized here.

	•  Executing a tlbwe instruction in 32-bit mode will set bits 0:31 of the TLB EPN field to zero unless MAS0ATSEL is set, in which case those bits are not written to zero.
	•  In 32-bit implementations, MAS2U can be used to read or write EPN0:31 of MAS2.

So if MSR.CM is not set tlbwe should mask the upper 32 bits out - which can happen regardless of CONFIG_64BIT.
Also, we need to implement MAS2U, to potentially make the upper 32bits of MAS2 available, right? But that one isn't as important as the first bit.
