As noted earlier, different problem.

Since about Nov 2002 we have been working on better {copy,clear}_user_page()
implementations quietly inside HP.  Unfortunately some, uhm, "issues" are
taking a long time to resolve before the routines can be published.
Once those issues are resolved, I think your trick with temporary
TLB entries can get implemented.
