As the 440 support is ready and the 405 needs additional tweaking due to
the use of DBCR1 instead of DBCR0 and due to a different position scheme
of the DAC1R/DAC1W flags inside DBCR1, i'd say we should include this
code and handle the 405 case later. 

We might have to handle it anyway if we're going to pursue the hardware
breakpoint interface work in the future.

I've fixed some formatting problems. Tested on a 440 Taishan board and
on a PPC970. Both worked as they should. Ok?
