DataTLBError currently does:
 if ((err & 0x02000000) == 0)
    DSI();
This won't handle a store with no valid translation.
Change this to
 if ((err & 0x48000000) != 0)
    DSI();
that is, branch to DSI if either !permission or
!translation.

As I said earlier, I don't think this is necessary, just get rid of the
whole bunch of code in DataTLBError :-)

Ben.
