This has a very significant effect on the emulator performance with virtual memory enabled (e.g. when booting Linux). Having a more realistic TLB can also help expose bugs, like the recent bug in riscv#496. For example with a larger TLB you can add an assertion in `translate()`. It also allows you to detect missing `sfence.vma`s in software by asserting that the TLB translation is the same as the uncached translation. This is not implemented in this change but we can do it in future (or you can just hack it in when needed). The detection will never be 100% but the bigger the TLB the more missing fences you will detect. 64 was chosen based on benchmarks I did last year. Performance when booting Linux keeps going up until you get to 64.
