Oh, and it also has some extensions that are supposed to be part of later
powerpc architecture releases (CBEA, appendix E):

• Mediated interrupt
• Multiple concurrent large pages
• Add TL (TLB load control) bit to logical-partitioning control register
 (LPCR) for software versus hardware load of TLB
• Change tlbie<l> of large page to always invalidate ERAT
• Hypervisor SPRs no longer readable when HV equals 0

Do we know which ones of these made it into 2.05?
