Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH] 8313erdb: Set guarded bit on BAT that covers the end of the address space.

Aha!
It seems like the root cause of this problem:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.boot-loaders.u-boot/53025/match=nasty+gunzip+problem+mpc8313e+rdb
As a MPC8313E(-RDB) user I'm happy no more checkstops will occur
for some kernels. I'm even more happy I took over the BAT settings
from MPC8315ERDB.h for our custom MPC8313 board
(MPC8315ERDB.h doesn't have this problem as far as i can tell)
