Now I can "turn_on_mmu" and run "start_here" . I make a mistake when I try
to debug by outputing a character vi SERIAL Port after "turn_on_mmu".
The serial port IO is 0xfe0003f8, and the "initial_bats" only do the
physical address 0~256M to virtual address 0xc0000000~0xc0000000+256M
memory-mapping. To make the serial port output work, we have to do
additional memory-mapping from physical address 0xf000000-0xffffffff to
virtual address 0xf0000000~0xffffffff as following:

initial_bats:
        ......
        ......
       mtspr DBAT0L,r8
        mtspr DBAT0U,r11
        mtspr IBAT0L,r8
        mtspr IBAT0U,r11

/*the start added  lines  */
        lis r9,0xf000
        ori    r9,r9,0x1ffe
        lis r8,0xf000
        ori r8,r8,0x2a
        mtspr DBAT1L,r8
        mtspr DBAT1U,r9
/*the end added lines*/

        isync
        blr

Now I meet a new problem. I can run through here:
start_here:
...
bl identify_machine
bl MMU_init
lis r4,2f@h
 ori r4,r4,2f@l
 tophys(r4,r4)
 li r3,MSR_KERNEL & ~(MSR_IR|MSR_DR)
 FIX_SRR1(r3,r5)
 mtspr SRR0,r4
 mtspr SRR1,r3
 SYNC
 RFI

  /*Here I add my serial output codes, but it outputs nothing. System seems
to halt here?*/

2:
  sync
  tlbia
  sync

Do you have any ideas?
thank you very much.
