hmm, what boards was this?
I am planning to a larger test here with all our custom mpc860 and mpc862 boards. We have them in
100, 80 and 50 MHZ variants.

May be the bug is related to board design?  Is there an official errata from Motorla
regarding this bug? I can't find any.

Anyhow I had a flaw in my testprogram, so you can throw this version of copy_page() away.
But enabling the use of dcbz in the current version still gives me 30%+ performance increase.

See the embedded list for details.
