For the 2500 you can also do it before the first instruction is executed on
the ARM core by taking advantage of the firmware strapping function. This
is about a small a window as you're going to get though.
OpenBMC's approach of doing it early in u-boot is the pragmatic approach
as you can read/modify/write the registers, which isn't possible via the
firmware strapping method.
