Also, you must make sure you don't use any cache instructions such
as dcbz. I believe the optimized memset function i glibc uses dcbz.

The mpc8xx CPU has a HW bug which makes the TLB exceptions fail
for most cache instructions. There is a workaround for this, but it
is somewhat ugly. Search the embedded archives if you want to known more.
