Indeed.

Correct. But when you change somethiung, you better  understand  what
you change, and why, and how.

You must not try mapping the IMMR at such a low address. See
http://www.denx.de/twiki/bin/view/PPCEmbedded/Kernel#Section_10.2.
for some description about the Linux kernel's memory map.

Don;t even think of changing KERNELLOAD or things  like  that  unless
you really understand what's going on. Both 0x00000000 and 0xc0000000
are  correct  addresses  -  one  being  a  physical  one, the other a
vrirtual one.

Neither 0 nor 1. It must be undefined.
