very minor 405GP and 405GPr PCI difference

The MontVista Linux disables disable PMM1, which is correct.  It then
writes a 0 PMM0 enable bit,
which on the 405gp is OK because the enable bit is hardwired to a 1.  ON
the 405gpr, the bit is writeable and
this then disables PMM0.  The correct action is to write a 1 to the PMM0
enable bit on both the 405 and the 405gpr
and the problem is solved.

Hang on, so just to clarify - MVL sets up PMM1 with the code you
posted, but doesn't set up PMM0 anywhere?  From my reading of that
code, it sets up a window at the same address as the "standard"
(Walnut) mapping, except that it is only 128kB instead of 1GB.  Is
there a reason that Rainier must have such a small window?
