Ok, I will look to it.

This is my problem and I think it's related to the pSOS bootloader
but I have difficulties pointing to the problem.

In my file mxhost2_setup.c in function mxhost2_map_io(), I've
added:

    io_block_mapping(0xfdf00000, 0xfdf00000, 0x00100000, _PAGE_IO );

as a work-around and modify also my find_bridge() to prevent using the
ioremap_base.

I made my trace inside the mpc10x_common.c to have this result. I am
not making changes in the kernel, I want to keep as is as much as
possible.

For the moment, I will move my platform into 2_4_devel to see if
the situation improved.
