CPU_FTR_COMMON is actually a nop in this case anyway.  It should
probably be listed for "completeness", but it's defined to be 0 so it
doesn't really do anything.

No, it doesn't, I missed that in the GX feature list.  Good catch.

I can do that, or I can just do:

CPU_FTRS_750 | CPU_FTR_HAS_HIGH_BATS

This should be fine.

I'll send out a newer version, and fixup the description with the
comment Milton made.
