Ben,
The following patch is causing me issues w/init SEGV on boot. This is
a pretty old version of init and I'm wondering what the commit you had
related to old ABI breakage:
commit 8d30c14cab30d405a05f2aaceda1e9ad57800f36

powerpc/mm: Rework I$/D$ coherency (v3)
This patch reworks the way we do I and D cache coherency on
PowerPC.

/*
* Allow execution from readable areas if the MMU
does not
* provide separate controls over reading and
executing.
+ *
+ * Note: That code used to not be enabled for 4xx/BookE.
+ * It is now as I/D cache coherency for these is done at
+ * set_pte_at() time and I see no reason why the test
+ * below wouldn't be valid on those processors. This -
may-
+ * break programs compiled with a really old ABI though.
