Might as well just use 16-31 and stick with the MPIC convention.  If
somebody else is using the 5100 with the IPMC761 then they will have
ISA and will thank you many times for not changing things.

Make sure you have those Hawk registers covered with a BAT or PTEs.
Notice the areas covered by BATs in the MACH_prep BAT setup case in
arch/ppc/mm/init.c.
