[Feng Kan]

Hi:
   It looks like the top bit is hard coded to 1. There doesn't seem to
be anyway
Of changing it.

Hrm... from the doco it's also one 32-bit register... I'm starting to
think that those guys always assume the top 1 bit is set or something
like that ...

The doc is unclear. Maybe somebody form AMCC can confirm ?

Cheers,
