This is more idiomatic and it does not really make sense for this
code to implement a own TLB flushing variant.
The control registers will be read/written a few times more, but
that should not really matter for this code.

This extends the effective lifetime of 32bit systems by 8 years:
from 2030 to 2038.
The only drawback is that users cannot set the cmos date to before 2000
now on 32bit with systems that don't support extended century in
