Assuming that BR0 is set to valid, the right chip select machine is
selected, etc., my understanding of MPC885RM is:

* 0x70000000 & OR0[AM] = 0x70000000
  0x70000000 == BR0[BA]
  => CS0 active, 0x0000 on the address bus (haven't checked the actual
  bus width).

* 0x71000001 & OR0[AM] = 0x71000000
  0x71000000 != BR0[BA]
  => CS0 inactive, will check the following BR/ORs

With kind regards,
