Aliasing between pages of different size (when multiple VAs map to the same
PA) may take place, as with the SPARC-V8 Reference MMU. The reverse case,
when multiple mappings from one VA/context to multiple PAs produce a multi-
ple TLB match, is not detected in hardware; it produces undefined results.
Note: The hardware ensures the physical reliability of the TLB on multiple
matches.
