OK so this is not it then, but what is it then? Are you 100% that
the bug(whatever this may be) is present for mpc860, rev D4 or later?
How can I make it bite me on kernel space memory?
I can't find that info in the archives, if it's there please give me a hint.

I have enabled all kernel functions that uses dcbz for 8xx as well. I even split copy_tofrom_user
into copy_from_myuser resp. copy_to_myuser and enabled dcbz in copy_from_myuser
and still everything is working just fine.
