If you suggest a sane way of getting the value let me know.  The  
mpc8xx doesn't appear to have what I would call 'soc' level registers  
like 83xx/85xx/86xx does.  How do you propose we determine the immrbase?

The range will cover the whole immr space on 83xx/85xx/86xx.

82xx-pq2 is special in that its soc regs are in the middle of the  
immr address map.
