Ok. Presumably our bd_t won't exactly line up for all 8xx (since it
varies from platform to platform, yes?) - but I gather the only bits
we use do match up. That's probably worth a comment, so that someone
doesn't try using some later bd_t field which is only in the right
place for some 8xx systems.
Otherwise,
