Grab the current kernel.org 2.6 release. I suggest you use
dirdiff another recent 2.4 kernel and then analyze the 2.6 stuff
as it is different yet.  There are countless bug fixes that have
gone in over the last 3 years.  I sincerely hope you aren't
trying to use that old kernel with experimental PPC440 support
for production work.

The problem was that the initial code would crash apps regularly. I
put the code out in our development tree at the time since it was
taking a long time to find the bug...and you could mostly run a
system.  The MMUCR was not having the TID set properly during
a tlbie() and a couple other spots in head_440.S.
