The current configuration in U-BOOT works, and boots Linux with no problem.
It will, however, not work on a virgin ADS development board. You have to
change one jumper to get the CPU to use the Hardware Configuration word from
Flash, and not from BCSR... (JP3 I think)

There is a huge textbox in the start of the MPC8266ADS.h file that explains
this.
There is absolutely no reason to change the BCSR and PCI_INT addresses. They
work fine as they are set now.

I don't know how the unified PQ2 port (which should work on all the
MPC826xDAS boards and the new PQ2 boards) is set up. Haven't tried it.

Only other issue I know about (in u-boot-0.4.5) is that the memory
controller is set to use Page Based Interleave (PBI), which I do not think
works with the standard 16MB DIMM that comes with the eval board. There were
some discussion about setting the SDAM field of the PSDMR differently to fix
this, but I havent gotten that to work.
Fix is to use bigger than 16MB DIMM, or turn off PBI (top of
board/mpc8266ads/mpc8266ads.c) This should probaby be changed...
