No.  The kernel will detect at runtime that that it's an e500v1 core and 
it won't try to create 36-bit TLBs. (e.g. it won't write to MAS7).

Please remember that the Kconfig for the P1022DS already forced PHYS_64BIT 
for all mpc85xx platforms.  All we're doing is making it possible to 
deselect PHYS_64BIT.
