I've just read the IceCube.h file as well as the mpc5xxx init code ( in
the cpu/mpc5xxx, board/icecube and some in lib_ppc ).

So yes, indeed U-Boot, does change the MBAR from it's boot default to
0xf000000 and setup the PCI Mem & IO space to 0x40000000 & 0x50000000.
Sorry I should have searched more in details what uboot does before asking.

What still surprises me is that it's mapped before the 0x80000000, so
isn't that inside the zone of per-process mapping ? ( < TASK_SIZE ).

As far as I understand it, Uboot does not use the mmu, it just ensure
that it's all clear ( tlb, bat, ... ). And I don't see anywhere what
could 0x8000000 be ? It's not the MBAR anymore. And I don't see anything
there anymore but still it can't be a map to nowhere ?


Thanks a lot.
