	So I have noticed some things, maybe someone here can explain this.
When If configure everything with my bdi2000 and attempt to boot u-boot
my CPU will crash (COP freeze) when I get to the code that implements
the software workaround that was mentioned above.

	However if I do not configure anything with the bdi2000, and boot
u-boot, it will load just fine. I have even removed the code that causes
the crash in u-boot, recompiled u-boot and with those changes u-boot
will not crash the CPU. But, that same u-boot image will not boot if I
do not have the bdi2000 attached.

	So I guess the question is, what could be configured that would cause
this CPU to crash when the code for the errata was executed?

Here is the code for the workaround:

/* invalidate MMU L1/L2 */
/* Note: before invalidate MMU L1/L2, we read TLB1 Entry 0 and then
 * write it back immediately to fixup a bug(Errata CPU4)  for this
initial
 * TLB1 entry 0,otherwise the TLB1 entry 0 will be invalidated.
