Just a concern.
Technically, we have the same problem on e500, except on e500 we use multiple TLBs to map the memory. In theory, we need at most one TLB/BAT per DIMM slot, which means we would need four BATS on the MPC8641 HPCN.
Do we want to tell customers that U-Boot/Linux only supports power-of-two sizes of DDR?
