But we weren't talking about asynchronous exceptions,
we were talking about floating point exceptions. Unless
your TLB miss handler uses floating point arithmethic,
there's no way it can get interrupted by one. (And if
it does use floating point arithmetic in a way that
can cause an exception, you'd better write it to deal
with that!)
