build_huge_tlb_write_entry only uses K0 as a temp and clobbers without using 
the value, so the K0 must be being used by the code generated by 
build_huge_update_entires, but the patch you mentioned changed the second 
argument from K0 to htlb_info.huge_pte.

So should the K0 in the new UASM_i_LW call be changed to htlb_info.huge_pte 
too?
