Um, if you're still relying on the GPU doing an invalidate-all-by-ASID 
whenever it switches a TTBR, then there's only ever one ASID live in the 
TLBs at once, so it really doesn't matter whether its value stays the 
same or changes. This seems like a whole chunk of complexity to achieve 
nothing :/

If you could actually use multiple ASIDs in a meaningful way to avoid 
any invalidations, you'd need to do considerably more work to keep track 
of reuse, and those races would probably be a lot less benign.
