I'll add more general background the commit message in the next revision and I've also asked directly about this. The answer is that page table entries using the new translation table base address will be allocated into the TLB using the old ASID. If employing the workaround, it's possible for page table entries using the new translation table base to be allocated into the TLB using the reserved ASID.
