My IMMR is 0xFF000000. I basically followed the BSE-IP stuff when I ported
linuxppc to our own board. This is above 0x80000000 so this should be fine,
but I do have some peripherals (LEDs, etc) mapped to memory lower than
0x8000000 (eg 0x20000000). Is this good or bad ?
Would it be better if I memory mapped everything above 0x80000000 (except
DRAM of course) ?
