A wired entry can EITHER be irrespective of ASID (if the G bit for the entry
is set) OR can take the current ASID into account (if the G bit for the entry
is clear) -- using wired TLB entries to map things like PCI io/mem window is
an example of a translation that would be fixed regardless of the process and
therefore you would want to set the G bit (which would make the ASID field
"don't care")
