This hunk turns out not to be quite right -- it needs to move
to the top of the function, before the assignment
"desc.flags = flags;". Otherwise tb_lookup_cmp() will
spuriously fail, and execution becomes somewhat slower because
we have to keep retranslating TBs rather than reusing them.
(Surprisingly this is only noticeable in an ARM TFM image
I happen to have, not in Linux kernel boot...)
