Thanks, Ralf From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [MIPS] tlb-r4k: Nuke broken paranoia error test. Bug originally found and reported by Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx>. I decieded that the whole error check was mostly useless paranoia and should be discarded. It would only ever trigger if r3k_have_wired_reg has a wrong value.
