You did not specify which processor, but in any case, the answer can
be found in your processor manaul.  For example, for the 603e core,
found in many Motorola embedded PowerPC processors, you cannot
access more than 256 MB using a single BAT register.  I believe this
is a PowerPC architectural limitation.  However, you might be able
to juggle your system resources/configuration to use more than one
BAT for mapping in memory.  There are four pairs of BAT registers
used for translating data accesses, and another four pairs for
instruction accesses.  See "PowerPC Microprocessor Family: The
Programming Environments" (the green book) and your processor manual
for details.
