Looks like this can happen only when E500 is not selected.

But what kind of CPU do we have if it's not a E500 ?

AFAICS in cputable.c, if not a PPC32 and not a BOOK3S_64 is must be a 
E500 otherwise there's just no CPU.

Should we make Kconfig stricter instead to avoid the Robot selecting a 
crazy config ?
