8265 here.

There's something weird about the console output if I hit SysRq-B. It's
as if each 32-bit word is rotated by 8 bits before being sent. The oops
I expect -- I know machine_restart() doesn't work and I'll fix if if I
have the toy in question here at home without automatic power control
for any length of time. But I do expect the oops to be readable :)

SysRq : ResettinttihMac inecchenk ir ke nelemodC.
eausyd br (fSom =RR10410 0):nTrarsfer eraor sck aignOl
:opsc maehine ch ck,:sig[ 7
 ... etc...

Also, userspace is broken without panto's _tlbia() hack in
update_mmu_cache().

Btw, someone with shell access to the linuxppc BK tree needs to manually
edit SCCS/s.ChangeSet and fix the checksum on this changeset:

ChangeSet at 1.497.3879.2, 2004-04-09 10:55:30-07:00, rvinson at linuxbox.(none)
  Updating Force PCore to 2.6

This should do it:
	perl -pi -e s/K64684/K65408/ SCCS/s.ChangeSet

(for reference, if you 'bk export -tpatch' the offending cset it'll tell
you what the checksum is and what it should be.).

Then 'get ChangeSet' and it'll bitch about the checksum. Edit
SCCS/s.ChangeSet and fix the 'Hxxxxx' checksum in the very first line,
correcting it to the value it just gave you.
