Yes, that's right. The proper solution (I guess) will be reconfiguration 
  in  mpc10x_bridge_init() so that memory covered by the bridge do not 
intercept anything what pdevs request. Or (less probably) there's 
something odd in pdevs descriptions - if so you need to find out what 
exactly is intercepted with the bridge area.
