Just for future reference in the list archives, I got my bootloader
to work.  It turns out that eCos uses the MMU to map cacheable and
non-cacheable regions.  They have a function hal_map_memory()
which seems roughly analogous to ioremap().  Anyway, by simply
commenting out the parts of their 8xx init stuff which sets up
the MMU and TLBs, I can boot Linux and the tlbia falls through
without a hitch, and I get my shell prompt a few seconds later.
Joy...
