> why would specifically not support a _feature_ of the hardware.

Sparc64 chips support a hash table like hw assist feature for TLB
reloading, I didn't use it for 8+ years and went with a virtual page
table approach instead.

I mean, your statement is totally meaningless.  Just because the
hardware can do something, doesn't mean we have any reason to use that
functionality.
