This reverts commit f685a533a7fab35c5d069dcd663f59c8e4171a75. MIPS cache flush logic needs to know whether the mapping was already established to decide how to flush caches. This is done by checking the valid bit in the PTE. The commit above breaks this logic by setting the valid in the PTE in new mappings, which causes kernel crashes.
Thanks. I added
