MD_CTR is decremented after each entry added.
However, the function populates entry 28, then 29, then 30, then 31. At
the end MD_CTR has then value 30, ready to overide entry 30 then 29 then
28 then 27 .....

So I will remove all the CONFIG_PIN_TLB, but I'll also have to fix the
value set in MD_CTR to start from 31, won't I ?

Do you have any comment/recommendation on my tentative v3 patch where I
have tried to implement based on the use of r7 as you recommended ?
