This patch absolutely does not work with a hardware that implements ASID feature. Aside from many corner cases, it does not even boot on a hardware with ASID implemented. It only works because QEMU does not use ASID at all. I have already pointed out many issues multiple times in the thread but most of them are not addressed.
