Yosemite/440EP PLB4 vs PLB3 DMA to PCI issue

[Stefan Roese]

Hi David,

I never used DMA on 440EP/GP till now so I just noticed the two different 
PLB's and their DMA controllers. Never seen this on any 4xx PPC so far. I 
suspect that the PLB4 is integrated mainly because of the USB interface.

What version of the user manual are you referring to? Could you please give 
the pages for the current manual (Revision 1.18).
