My suspicion is that what happens when we get the data access error is
that we sample the tlb batch count as non-zero, preempt, then come
back from preemption seeing the tlb batch in a completely different state.

And that's what leads to the crash, in the one trace I saw the TSB address
passed to tsb_flush() (register %o0) was some garbage like 0x103.
